Neofinetia Experiment

[Subrosa]

This fall I obtained 3 blooming size Neos from Exotic Orchids of Maui and decided to run a little experiment. One plant is mounted in vase culture on a windowsill in my living room, another is potted and kept in the same room under lights. These two are getting fairly steady temps in the 60s and 70s. The third is potted up and in my cold room where temps normally run low 60s during the day and low 50s at night. Temps have gotten as low as 44. Both plants that are artificially lit are in very bright situations, the one in the living room is under a 9W 6500K led spotlight, and the one in the cold room is about 3" from a T5HO tube. I'm curious to see how each plant grows and blooms. Not surprisingly the one in vase culture has just started growing new roots, while the others are still taking it easy. I'll get some pics up tonight.
