Aerangis luteoalba var rhodostica (Project 4 - Summer 2007)

[Becca]

No, I wasn't saying that was the solution, I had originally wanted a mounted 'chid for the project plant, but also requested a potted one only if it was in spike, so potted I got! That is why I plan on mounting it when it is finished blooming, it has a nice piece of cork currently waiting for it. Currently it is planted in sphag moss in a clay pot and that is how it came. I am not a big fan of how it is currently potted, and if I were to dunk it daily the moss would stay to wet, but I do use the MSU fertilizer at 125 ppm Nitrogen!

Hi Everyone! Well my project 4 'chid just finished blooming. Does anyone know how long the blooms are supposed to last for? I wasn't sure if the mist from my new misting system would shorten their life span or not, I have a NOID den and the blooms on them are extremely short lived as well so that is why I was thinking it might be the mist. Any feedback from anyone else? What about other's who have blooms?

Mine still look like they just opened. It's been almost exactly 1 month since the first flower opened. If you have other flowers that seem to not last as long as they should I'm guessing it must be something new in your grow area. It could be a combo of the mist and cooler temps??

[Becca]

Hmmm...cooler temps? I haven't been watching the temps much since I grow in an orchidarium...I'll have to take a look at that, but the temps haven't changed any over the month it was in bloom.

Here's the latest pics of my Aerangis. One flower open 19 to go for a total of 20 it'll look great if they all make it. Thanks for looking. Jim.

Very nice--I also can't wait to see the entire spike in bloom. Good growing.
