that was pretty much the whole reason we regretted not getting one in the first place, fomo and all that....

where’s yours mr. f?! what r u doing for it? one of ours is in the tank now, and since they were all pretty much at the same stage i think it will at least be a nice basic cultural comparison (even tho it applies only to our exact situations since i have no idea what our numbers are for light, temp, and humidity!)

It spent 3 weeks in my ICU tent (high humidity and low light) in order to encourage some root growth. The state of the roots when I received it wasn't great... It now lives on my shelves under lights next to Phal gigantea, and I'm trying to think of a way to increase the humidity levels around it.

I consider myself an experienced Phal grower, but this species does make me nervous!

Tmoney, for the light level I would use the same approach as for any other plant : gradually increase the light level, observe, and reduce light if it seems to be too much.

thanks for sharing, camille! at least you got some new root action happening, better than nothing. and thanks for the light tip, that’s our usual approach with most plants, but these we started a little higher on the light levels than our other seedlings, hopefully it’s not too much too soon

2 are mine, the other one is Sade's.

The one in the bottom left I got last year; it was growing fine until it got toasted this summer. It lost a bunch of roots and leaves, but surprisingly pulled through and made a tiny new leaf.

It's in LECA/rockwool, watered every day, high light with direct afternoon sun. It used to be outside until temps dropped below 13°C.

The others arrived at the same time we group ordered, (I don't remember the date) they've been in a box with heat mat and bright indirect light, they're fine but haven't done much.

I just put them under lights for winter, maybe I'll toss the mat inside the terrarium and see what happens.

your tank is looking good, but how do you find those tiny babies in all that jungle?!

also, how do i get in on your contract growing scheme?? i have a few plants id like you to have coax into some flowers! do you take cash for your services??
