Today I finally received my package from Elsner Orchids in Germany. One of the plants is a standard Neofinetia falcata, and having owned 2 of these in the past, I find the growth of this really, really strange. It's an otherwise very healthy plant, with many roots.
Basically instead of having new fans come from the base of the plant, each new fan seems to be coming out of the previous one from a rather high node, and the last resulting fan is really elongated. Is this considered a normal, but just different, growth habit for this species, or did I buy a monster? I find it quite ugly looking.
