Tolumnia Genting Orange

[Daenerys]

I have mine growing mounted with live moss, under a T5 fixture. The base of the plant is about 16 inches away from the lights. The lights are on 16 hours a day. I don't have air conditioning (yet) so the temp/humidity is that of the NYC summer.

I soak the orchid daily. I run my water through a Pur pitcher filter before using, and sporadically add a tiny amount of fertilizer. I'm more sure now, that the weirdness of the flowers was due to the superthrive. I've stopped adding superthrive since then. I've now had 3 flowers open from the side spikes (2 of which sadly got swiped off by the cat). But all three of those flowers were normal.

As far as the scent, it was very faint. The only reason I was able to notice it was because there were so many flowers.

Thanks for the info.
Yeah, I heard about the funky things superthrive is capable of doing! never used myself, but now I am tempted. lol

Ok, I thought mine dried out because the air was too dry but I guess it's not the case then. maybe I should try superthrive and see if I too can get abundant slightly scented mutant flowers!

Sensational!! Love the Tolumnias.

great job blooming it!!! i think it might be because of superthrive usage. the other ones arent severely disfigured, but that may be the cause of they variation
