Howeara Lava burst ‘Puanani’ - Orchid Board Galleries

Here's one I grew, this is in a 6" pot...

Hey Rosie !!I bet he is guarding his favorite chair as well would make space for a plant stand :)

Hi, how old is your Howeara?. I just got my Howeara Lava Burst 'Puanani' last month. Looks puny, now I look at yours'. Would yours be 2 years old?Attachment 51125

Your Lava Burst is beautiful. What's not to love about those vibrant red blooms. I must add this one to my rapidly growing wish list. ;)

Congratulations Camille! That's a beauty!

Rosie, not that you need further enabling, but it's also tough as nails. Mine has never failed to bloom despite having no roots when I first got it 4 years ago, dividing it twice to keep it small enough to fit in an arrangement with cryptanthus and tillandsias, and leaving it in my parents' inexperienced care while I attend school. I love this gorgeous little trooper! :biggrin:

I'm thinking of putting part of mine on a mount like yours next time I divide it, Camille, since the pseudobulbs stack so much. In my growing conditions it's been a bit annoying trying to get the new roots to grow all the way down to the medium when the new growths get too high above it.

No idea how old mine is, it has 4-5 bulbs I think, and already has a good grip on the mount. I think I need to add some sphag over the roots though, because the bulbs are still starting to shrivel a bit despite daily watering.

:rofl: He does keep wondering how I will fit more in... and yet at the show just over a week ago he actually added two orchids to those I had chosen, and they weren't the minatures :)

I guess you have him well trained!! :rofl:
