It started to send a 2nd spike and horror of all horrors i accidently broke it off. I was heart broken :(

And now to my joy :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: It has grown more and I have not one but two new spikes growing. Its facinating watching them grow, and covered in happy sap :D

Not sure how long it will be before 1st spike opens its flowers.........soon i hope ;)

Woo hoo. More blooms to look forward too.

How exciting! !!! Fantastic job!! I can't wait to see the pictures of it blooming again!

Awesome!

I have read that this Vasco. can bloom up to 5 times a year!
I bought one in June or July in bloom, then it started another spike that was eaten by some sort of critter in Sept. it now has another spike ! Very happy with this one....Jean

Yes i read somewhere that this one is a prolific bloomer......quite pleased about that really :biggrin:

I was so worried when I first got it that i wouldnt be able to keep it going as i had only ever had experience with phals but it seems quite happy. I completely soak roots once a week for a few hours in rain water and give it a feed very other watering.

I did perform a bit of surgery on it after hours of searching on the net :goodluck:

The roots were soooooo long when i got it that they were starting to rot in the vase (going black) but since i trimmed them - so they are not touching the bottom of the vase they r doing much better and its even sent out a monster thick root and a little small one off another root. So i must be doing something right :biggrin:

Lovely! Delicate coloration. Love it!

The flowers finally started to open on christmas day :D

8 flowers on the spike
