I have a few that appear to be rather slow growers...
Aerangis Mystacidii isn't doing anything.....and my Angraecum distichum appears to also be a really slow grower, along with my Aerangis luteo-alba .....

All my other Angracoids seem to be growing all new roots ......

Let me hear what you're growing ........and how they're doing...

Wait...what do you mean...there are plenty of posts with amazing angraecoids here. Of course, I agree, the more the merrier. More angs for all.

Angraecoids rock! I grow several of the smaller ones: Angcm. leonis, praestans, aloifolium, Aerangis punctata, fastuosa and citrata x fastuosa. Some of them are fairly slow growers, but my fastuosa has put out and matured several new leaves in less than a year. Flowers on mine have been long lasting, except for the citrata cross.

I used to grow angraeciods 13 years ago when I lived in California. When we moved to Oregon and had to grow exclusively under lights and on windowsills, I lost many plants until I figured out what I was doing. Recently I have acquired a few new ones and have three more coming next week.

The first Angraecum I bought was the dideri. It was a small plant but it died within three months. That was two years ago. But recently, Marnie Turkle had Angraecum germinyanum, Angraecum scottianum comports, so I bought these two compots. Today I bought Podangis dactyloceras.

So I now have three of these African plants. I hope I can grow the here in cold winter Indiana.

I have Aerangis Rhodosticta (sp??) or Leuteo alba, which was given to me as a gift last fall.
It came with three spike which took forever to form buds and eventually flower.
Cutest thing ever!
All the flowers fell back in January or February, but since then, it grew one very big (relatively speaking here as the whole thing is tiny) leaf and working on the second new leaf along with a few roots.

I grow mine under a lot of light. South window with light shear curtain.
It is in chunky bark mix in shallow plastic pot (3in diameter). I mist the top roots every morning and water it good about twice a week.

I have about 45 angraecum sesquipedale that I grew from flask, they're all so cute and very healthy, none have died from being deflasked months ago.
I have a huge angraecum erburneum which is in double spike/bloom, nearly half a meter tall. I also recently go an angraecum crestwood 'tomorrow star' which has been growing nicely. Where I live it's very hot dry and humid like Africa, so they angs all grow amazing here however are rare to find in collections..

Good for you!
I would love to have Crestwood 'Tomorrow Star', but too big for me.

Yeah they get big, but nobody was selling anything except adv sized seedlings, so I payed almost $50 just for a small plant... But it should bloom within the next 2-4 years

There must be a whole stack of tommorow star on the flask/seedling market at the moment.

Wgers are you getting your plants from jack?

I got the crestwood star from an eBay vendor called orchidsalive, there is the qld orchid biotech that sell seedlings for $35 but apart from that they weren't readily available. And in the NT no one had one for sale, doubtful that many if any would own one here
