Thanks for the info Tim. Do you grow yours indoors all year or do you take them out during the summer months?

I take all of my orchids outside until it gets around 45 degrees at night. And they really thrive with the rain but I do have to watch out for the leopard slugs (3-5 inches), they will eat everything!.

Hey Tim & all,

It was a great trip there for sure.
I Picked up a Neofinetia Amami Furan, my first Neo. I repotted it in a bonsai pot from the Bonsai House. I also picked up 3 Den. Moniliforme's which I prefer. (I guess I'm a Den. lover at heart!

)
I can tell it is going to be at least a semi annual trip there from now on.

(My poor wallet!!

)
Dr. Glenn was most helpful and gracious, and knew each species/cross intimately. I recomment his plants to anyone looking for good Japanese stock.

to all that I haven't talked to in a year here on the board. It has been quite a busy year, but everyone seems to have made it through unscathed. It's good to touch base again.

I have about 70 or so D. moniliforme. Some of them are in flower now. I will try to get so photos up soon.
I think I have all of the ones that Glenn has but he always is getting new stuff. G

You going to sell any

Just joking, I have one request when you take pictures, would you mind taking a picture of your growing set up as well if it is not to much trouble? I love to see pictures of how other grow their 'chids!

Becca, I had planned on taking some of all the neo's I just repotted too so it will show my racks. I havelisted a few neo's on ebay recently and have a few more to sell (i posted on the forum classified page but only had one taker). Most of my moniliforme are not big enough yet to divide.

WOW!! 70 moniliformes. That's awesome. How do you grow them? (what conditions?)

gmaculata · #30 02-10-2009, 06:29 PM

I grow them under lights in my basement. I treat them the same as my Neo's. Cool in the winter and water every 10 das or so. I would like to put all of them out this summer if I can find a spot in my yard. When I get pics of the racks I will post a new thread.
