Mabuhay!

thanks for the compliment. But i guess, what makes our garden beautiful are the plants. I mean, no matter how big or small your garden is but if your plant is not being cared for it would look crap. Healthy plants make everything beautiful no matter what. I envy you because you have varied collections and healthy and established orchids.

hello Makoldoy, were you able to bloom your dendro junceum and the rest of the dendro species you currently have? sorry for the OT.

[makaldoy]

Den. heterocarpum as seller told will do about twice a year. Reduce watering (let say every other two days) when you notice that leaves are shedding (bloom is coming ).

Den. junceum blooms after experiencing heavy rainfalls (bagyo). Actually, the past storms we had triggered dormant buds of my junce to bloom, twice.

They both rebloomed under 50-70% shade (placed under plastic roof)

Thanks so much. Hmm I placed it in morning and afternoon sun spot. I may need to transfer the plants. Anyway, if your junceum is under plastic roof then it don't get wet at all during heavy rainfalls. Maybe it's the cooling effect brought about by the heavy rainfall induces the bloom not the plant being soaking wet.

Though not soaked but strong rainfalls tend to mist even those under roof. Umaanggi ikanga

Thanks Joecel. How about den macrophyllum? any growing/blooming tips?

[makaldoy]

Still establishing, kinda slow growing hehehe. Maybe we have to wait for a number of months before it will bloom. Check orchidspecies.com and there you might find necessary info and cultural requirements your macro needs.

Mabuhay!

Thank you all for the compliments. :hug: I really love orchids and ferns but since i had a lot of time this afternoon, i decided to move my ferns to a more sunnier position or at least to their more permanent positions.

OT...

continuation...

my massive fern


on its new location...i couldn't take it out of the pot so its all his/her. hehehe


my grammatophyllum speciosum is showing signs of hope..


this orchid has been with me, i guess, for the last 6 years and hasn't bloom even a bit. so i decided to put in on top of my mango tree and hoping that the heights will scare it and give me blooms.


my billigeria full of dead santol leaves
