Hello all how are you all doing i Have an Angraecum Didieri and i was wondering if these two bumps are buds? how long does it typically take for these nubs (if they are buds) to develop into flowers? Also how do i Keep the buds from blasting? My Angraecum Leonis made it to blooming so im feeling confident!
Also how do you pronounce Didieri? is it (DiD-E-air-E) or is it (DiD-Er-EYE)?
The Whole Plant
The Nubs/Buds?

Happy Growing

I'm not an expert on this plant - I did have one for a while, but failed to keep it happy
I do think the nub on the right is likely a spike, the other may be, tho it's harder to tell with the root behind it.
Hopefully others with better experience with this one will chime in.
I am quite happy so far with the late fall - winter spiking and blooming of my orchids too
Yes, those look like the nubs that turned into spikes for us!! Congratulations!! You should have full spikes in a few weeks, and then the spike turns into a bloom pretty quickly. Good luck!
Wow i cannot wait thanks! how do i tell if i need to repot it?
These are forming buds and are looking good, feed a high phosphate food and your blooms will look very, very nice. These are very finicky about replanting but will take to being mounted if you fancy something different.
Well i didnt mean now i should have clarified. i Meant in general what are the signs for angraecums needing repotting? for future reference. i know they dont like their roots bugged so i was just asking how will i know
