dimorphorchis lowii questions
i got the farmington x sib at orchidweb (great guys to do business with) a few months back, around march 2013)
i have not seem any activity whatsoever , no new roots the new leaf is not growing, so the plant seems to be totally dormant (the plant lost a couple of old roots too and a old leaf) besides that it looks in good shape (light green due to the light exposure)
i do know that dimorphorchis is kinda a slow grower, some people say it is easy to grow , (based on the video you can see at orchidweb) some others say it is hard, any opinions?
condition wise, it is now sitting in a basket with tree ferm , some bits of bark (pine that was treated to clean it from tannins ) and a bit of sphagnum moss. temps are 29 celsius at day 15C (average) at night, humidity is constantly high over 65%. around 2600FC , and a fan blowing constantly inside my greenhouse.
i do understand that conditions varies and it is hard to provide an advice, but i am curious to see if other people have experienced the dormant state with dimorphorchis lowii as i am experiencing.
Thanks!
Antonio.
