The Schwerter haul

[camille1585]

Great haul, they all look fantastic!!! I didn't have made my order that I prepared at the same time as yours, I was waiting to know about the project plant.

Funny that you guys get speedy delivery. The Netherlands is right next to Germany, but anything coming from Germany (Schwerter or other) always takes a week!

I guess you'll have to order from Schwerter very soon: Phal. Brother Pico Bahama - Orchideen der Schwerter Orchideenzucht

I pointed that one out to her yesterday! Aren't we evil!

Thanks! I will probably also suffer from potting nightmares and potting PTSD...

And here's the really sad part, I had already ordered the Phal. Stone Dance before Camille pointed it out to me, I'm waaay ahead of you guys when it comes to helping me becoming a bit more poor!



It will be shipped next week together with an adult sized P. equestris var. coerulea, in case my little one doesn't make it.

YES!

And guess what? I have more orders arriving today (I hope at least) which means more re-potting!

[camille1585]

You don't have to repot everything ASAP, you could spread it out over a few days!
Too much work, so I don't repot everything, particularily orchids coming from very good vendors. And I usually check the roots and put it back in the bark mix the plant came in.

Oh, but I prefer doing it right away, knowing me it won't be done otherwise. I'll whine and suffer temporarily, but deep inside I'll be very satisfied with myself.

Now you go and get yourself a P. stuartiana!
