Neofinetia falcata Seiryujushi, Mini Contorted Needle

[gmdiaz]

Shannan. . .you will love this one!

It's so tiny and the contorted leaves give it a sense of being in contant swirly movement. . .very attractive.

Orchidophile! I am so laughing. The pot does seem to be just as important as the plant. I love them both. Can't wait to see what you find to put in that special pot! If you're not sure what to get, we might have a few suggestions!

I'll prolly pass out when it blooms! I have no idea what size the flowers will be. . .sure will be fun to find out!

As much as I would love to buy a Neo right now, I dont think my funds will allow it. So I think I will just put my little Neo. I already have in it!<----THIS ONE!!

What a cutie, Tim. If you didnot purchase this with several growths, then looks like you may have had this for some time.

I am loving it! And that IS a great pot! Nice Nice Nice photo too!!

I am going to need to see full documentation on this orchid, you know! Name, rank and serial number!



Start a new thread, use the "documentation format" (in my first post) and fill in the info as you know it. Try to get photos of the Tsuke and the blooms too when you get them. This is a great one to add to our Neo. list!

You don't even need 5A grade moss unless the plant's the size of a baby's head. As long as it's quality NZ sphag, the strands are usually long enough to work with. May not be as easy as 5A but definitely doable, especially with minis. My 1st one took me 2 hrs. When my giant fan gave up on me a month ago I ended up re-mounding all of them (didn't have time to get a new one right away). With all the practice, it's not so hard anymore. Be nice to find some instructional video to put as a sticky.

I think that's a great idea. . .I'll do it but I'll try it on this one!
