P. equestris 'Riverbend' AM-AOS

I haven't lost one yet by doing it that way ! I wait until the spike dries up and turns brown before I cut the keiki off from it. Only problem is now she's putting out keikis in the middle of the spike as well !! Can't do the 2" pot trick there ! I'm just making sure I water and fert the keikis as well as momma.

Well, thanks to you all I decided to take stock of what I actually have on my shelves. I now have 175 plants (not counting the ones that are outside that are supposed to be a friends but I think she has given them to me). Of these 47 are phals, of those, 8 are species. Shilleriana, hieroglyphica, equestris, equestris v. alba, pallens, stuartiana, luedemaniana, marae.

Bob, it's in a 6.5" pot. I didn't get it judged, it came with the AM when I bought it.

Best thing is it being in continual bloom for more than 6 years !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
