Noid throw away Brassia
 

A NOID Trader Joe plant from my friend's trash heap. This thing has been growing in my patio for 3 years now. Every year two or more sets of blooms, and just add water kind of care.
Very spidery kind of effect, and it opened just before Halloween :)

Beautiful!

:wtg: looks beautiful!

I hope my spider orchid will grow to be like that some day. I bought mine at trader joes and I almost killed it. I left it in the car during a hot day. It got really bad sunburn. But after a little care and repot I have new growth.

Mine looks just like yours. They are so cool and smell nice.

I love it! I've wanted this one for so long.
But I'm so bad with brassia

Hey Ordphien, where are you? I live in Hollywood and grow this plant in my patio, and honest to god, I just add water 2 times a week in summer and once a week or less in winter depend on rain. It grows and flowers right next to my cymbidiums. You should give it another try.

beautiful
 

Nice save. bet you're glad you went dumpster diving :rofl:

I'm in south orange county.
If I water twice a week they die.
Oncidium, brassia, intergenerics. They all die for me.
I have a green brassia, I was doing better. But the new growths roots aborted when they hit the media.
Which is always the reason they die.
I can never get the roots to penetrate the media before they die.

I have several of these now, but I got my first one at TJs and the plant is gigantic. If it outgrows its current pot, it's going to have to go into a 1 gallon bucket. LOL!

It was pot bound in a 5" pot that was packed with probably 10 pbulbs. I repotted it when it was done blooming and now, a few months later, it's in spike again with 5 spikes this time. LOVE these orchids! Yours is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your photos!

Wow! Awesome!
