C. luteola no roots
When I went to Denver to visit my friend we went to Fantasy Orchids one day to have a look around. That's when I got my nodosa and my Blue Hawaii. They take care of peoples personal orchids there so they let us go and look at them. I was able to see allot of orchids in bloom that I never had before. It was fun. I saw a C. luteola on a mount in full bloom and it was gorgeous.
I asked the gal if they had any and she told me that they didn't. But while looking around I found a very sick dieing one that they gave to me. When I got home I pulled it out of the pot and it came apart into 2 plants. I wrapped it in spagh and am spraying it every day as I did my Wilsonara. It is starting new growths and one has a root.
I know it will be a long go but it is one of my wish list orchids.

Looks like it is starting to come back. Good save starting  It is wonderful that this plant was given to you and it is one you have wanted. A win win |

Yep, that is going to pull through! They are though as old boots. I overwatered my luteola several times, once so badly that the complete new pseudobulb rotted away. Just when i was given up on it a new shoot appeared and it even flowered! I'm a bit more carefull with the watering tho! Good luck!

They look like they'll survive. If they were blooming sized and mature before it might be a year or two before they bloom. My catts/hybrids that I rescued from my parents house with no roots had one grow season of small psb's and a bunch of roots. The next was normal sized psb's and then spikes after that! Good luck and give it the seaweed!

Yes I soaked it just the other day in seaweed with inocucor in it. It does feel good to be able to save some of them.

I wonder sometimes. I am doing better as I have killed several. That's how I found this sight, I decided I either had to get better or they had to go
