Monthly Status Reports - January 08

[shakkai]

Mmm... Well, mine came potted, but I mounted it as soon as I got it. It gets water every morning and dries out my night (see photo that I just took tonight, its dry by 10PM) it gets a complete soak once a week with specially formulated orchid food added. No idea of the exact FCs, but would guess in the 800-1000 range (south facing window, obscure (frosted) glass). You can see how much the new leaf has grown in the past month by comparing the December status photo with the one I just took tonight. Not a lot of new root growth, but some still have green growing tips... (Tonights photo isn't the best angle to see the spike - still barely more than a nubbin... not yet 1/2" long - its under the leaf on the left. The December photo has a red arrow pointing to the spike starting.)
