Phrag China Dragon
 

A friend of mine gave me this division last summer. I could not find a pot long and big enough to use. So I got an $0.88 clearance pitcher from Target and drilled some holes on the bottom and a few on the sides. This is the first time it's bloomed for me.

Thanks for looking!

Beautiful thing! Great idea for the pot too! Carol

nicely bloomed! The roots look very heathly, good job.

Those are really nice flowers!

Gorgeous Phrag Tracy! Great idea for the pot too! I'll have to remember that. :)

Beautiful ! I have one a friend gave me as a seedling a couple of years ago now have something to look forward to . I like the pot idea have the same problem with a few of mine ..

very nice blooms, and so crafty to find a pitcher to plant it in! excellent idea! good growing!

Thanks, everyone!

If the day temps are in mid 70's to low 80's I water about every 2 days right now during the winter. Each time I water, I use RO to flush the CHC/perlite/charcoal mix. My humidity is around 50%.

I have one too and can't wait for it to bloom.I grow it in s/h and it is a size like yours.Do you keep it very bright?:)Congratulation:goodjob

Tracy, That is a real beauty.

very nice

Well done!

Thanks for everyone's nice comments!
I think mine probably gets the higher end of medium light. When I first got it, the leaves were more of a bright green. I had it a foot or two away from windows facing southeast. Now the leaves are more of a lighter green. During the winter it went under my T5's, measuring around 900 fc for 12 hours.

I can't see the picture :( Is it on your flickr page?? :)

Figured it out...the internet filter at work doesn't like Flickr

:hello Tracy.Thanks for answering my question.I grow mine in the greenhouse and leaves are light green but I have to see how much light it gets.Maybe it needs more light.Next to it I grow some phrags like Jason Fischer,Noirmont,Grande,Besseae and Eric Young they bloom good so maybe I need to wait a little longer.Wishing you Tracy more success with your orchids.:goodluck::)

Thank you! Yes, perhaps it just needs some more time. When it does bloom, you'll have to let me know if the flowers smell faintly like dirty, wet socks. Mine do. I've no idea why.

:hello Tracy, sure I will let you know,I never heard that prags can have some smell?:)It is wierd:hmm
