Hi jiblylegs,

just happened to see your post while browsing. I ALSO got one of those D. loddigesi from Hausermann, but in late Oct. 2023. It has not "done" anything since, which I sort of expected...

After much anxious reading of frog forums, the frog has been containerized! In a sort-of terrarium made from one of our large (15") outdoor pots. It has a top made from a large clear plastic...

Really, I did not know that they're OK getting that dry. Although I guess there are Australian species and they must be adapted to that so it makes sense. It does make me feel a bit better about my...

All of the Californians probably know about them already, but from what I have heard, in California you can wander out to any random garage sale and find giant pots of blooming cymbidiums for a song....
