Ryan, I always talk to my plants and thank them for new leaves, roots and spikes. My Zygopetalum hybrid surprised me with a several inch spike today - it wasn't there last week.
That's great news!!!

Nice!!! My Oonami is one that got the rot but has survived. It's bare root right now. Considering keeping it that way in a clay pot.

Yes you must publicly praise. Allow me to demonstrate: who's duh wittle itty bitty neo who's so cute and bloom so well...you are! Yes you are aaaaaw.....


Something like that.

Default How do YOU winter your Neofinetias?

February seemed to be a continuation of January's too cold temperatures, too much snow, high velocity winds, and polar vortex. There were signs of emerging growth earlier in the month and lately in the past two weeks, root tips started emerging from plant bases, new leaves poking out of plant crowns, and there are several spikes starting to poke out of the Tsuke.

But winter keeps a stranglehold on our weather. Through next week, daytime temps remain in the teens, wind chill below zero. Today, I brought the Neofinetia troops to the kitchen sink and got them completely soaked. I am happy to see my plants are starting to grow. I did not loose any plants (knock on wood). Winter will soon wane. I am going to increase water volume, I'll keep misting them daily.

How have your Neofinetia wintered?
