Phal. javanica

Gorgeous! Shame the second is stuck opening but knowing you can bloom it must be a great feeling, I'm sure it will bloom again.

Aaaaaaaand here we go again!

(Sorry for the many pics i just looove to watch how the markings appear on a bud.)








Must be only a few days left til it's open.
But if i'm not satisfied with these two new buds look what i found underneath the leaves!

Andre, I have to admit i feared i wouldn't be able to bloom javanica but instead it looks like a solid bloomer! I have two ot them and both are throwing out new spikes. I guess they just like in the florarium that much. I keep constant 20-22 degrees and 98% humidity in it. I have ventillation too but i don't use it every day. I just open the doors for a few minutes daily to exchange air a bit. I water every 2-3 days, only spraying with tap water gently (btw i don't recommend tap water in general, i just use it coz it's not that bad here where i live). In the summer the temperature's a bit higher, but it never goes above 30 degrees. So far it likes to be mine, bought it last spring and this is the second blooming period already.





It's not as good as i expected but it has a few more buds to open

Do you have a pic of the entire terrarium/florarium? I'd love to see it.
