Okay, so I recently procured a Mtssa. Charles M. Fitch 'Izumi' on eBay. It's blooming size, but the problem is that I got it fairly cheap because it was inappropriately cared for and the roots definitely need some help. When I got it, I placed it in a bark mixture and placed it on the shelf with my cattleyas. It had a few good roots, but it looks like the roots went progressively higher on each new pseudobulb... I'm guessing an attempt to get the roots over the soggy media.
Well, it does seem to be growing roots now. Our Orchid society has a meeting coming up where someone very generously covered the cost for everyone to transplant one plant to S/H culture just to experiment with other culture techniques (nothing wrong with branching out, right?
). I was originally going to replant my favorite Dtps., but I'm wondering if perhaps the Miltassia would be better suited. Does anyone have any experience with Mtssa. growth in S/H? Also, any thoughts considering the history of the plant?
(I'll get some pictures up as soon as I can get my camera to stop acting up.)
Thanks!
