Can someone identify this orchid for me?
2 Attachment(s)
I've had this orchid for about 5 years now. A friend gave it to me with no info. It is a very slow grower, but has always stayed nice and green and well rooted, but it has never bloomed for me. (figured I might have an easier time identifying it once it bloomed) I fertilize it just like my other orchids. I've never been able to identify it with my orchid books or pics online.

Can you add a picture?

sorry about that....uploading for the first time and I did not attach the pics properly. Rookie. : )
|
Don't worry mine does it to me all the time.
|
ok...pics on original post.

I'm not sure but I think it could be a reed-stem epidendrum and they need a lot of light, even some direct sunlight, to flower.
|
I am thinking Epidendrum, bright light, wet but not soaking good draining media (ex. better gro dendrobium mix) fertilize weekly weakly. How long has it been since you repotted it as well? I would place it in a very holey pot that either you make or maybe a net pot.
I will say it looks a lot like a bigger version of either my stamforme or my anttenatum (spelling may be off on either of those btw.) But I would definitely look into re potting it though. Looks like it has some salt build up on the pot.... |
I re potted it about 6 months ago....could probably use it again. I will try moving it. It's in a sunny spot of the screened porch, but that is filtered. I'll move it outside and give it a try! Thanks ladies! Anxious to see what beautiful blooms may appear! : )

For real I would suggest gradually moving it towards full sun otherwise it will get sunburned.

Do you use a fertilizer for it each week as well? ---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ---------- I have found that mine really like the fertilizers. |
I usually fertilize every other week...and yes...I'll move it gradually. Especially in this lovely Florida sun!
