My first order of orchids came in today! Like always I am more then pleased with my plants! I can't wait to see them flourish and bloom! As always if anyone has any growing tips, I'm all ears!!
The plants names are in order with the photos!
Maxillaria Lepidota
Malleola Baliensis (which has a new leaf starting to grow
Gastrochilus Fuscopunctatus
Epidendrum (Nanodes) Species Mini Creeper Green Peru
Dracula Mopsus
Bulbophyllum Frostii
Bulbophyllum Amplebracteatum (which has three extremely healthy new growths)
Bulbophyllum Fraudulentum
Bulbophyllum Blumei ( which I still haven't decided if I should but this guy in a basket or mount it 🤔 What do you guys think?)
They all look really good! I really look forward to seeing them when they are in bloom!
I googled the Blumei and people grow it in baskets, mounted, in clay pots and in shallow dishes. I think it depends on your conditions. I grow mine in a terrarium and I have it in a shallow dish of NZ sph. moss.
I have a shaded growing area outside that is super humid and gets bright shade throughout the day! Most likely I'm just going to but it into a basket with some moss!
