What do you think? They were shipped quite a distance across Oz. The grower packed them really well. Do you think they are in good shape and quality by the looks.

I was very happy to see clear pots... now I have to keep them alive...and I am not sure about the light in the room I have them.

The seller must have remarkably consistent growing conditions, numbers 2 and 3 have come out like twins! *EG*

Have you repotted them? Not sure, but I think I'd want to check the roots and make sure those pots aren't too big for them.

Looks like you got some nice healhy plants. Agreed always check the roots, you never know whats lurking in the media.
Congrats on you're new babies :D

Hi oops look like I have posted the same pic twice

I am really new to this. Do you think the pots are too big. This is how they arrived. The bark is also quite damp.

If I repot what do I use ? I will try some close up pics of the pots at lease they are clear.

I agree with the others: these are healthy plants, by the looks of it (and the little fellow in the back ground is very cute!), but even so: check the roots, and repot in your own medium. It is not uncommon for snails, slugs, millipedes and the like to hitch a ride, and create major problems down the road. That's not a reflexion on the vendor: this can happen in any collection. You just don't want it happening in yours. Please post pictures of the blooms.
