Project 2015 Spring [main]: Amesiella monticola

[gngrhill]

Mine also continues to do nothing, but the roots are green, and the new leaf is about 1/3 mature length (it was about 1/4 mature length when it came )

Crossed my mind as well. OH NO now we have given it away. We could have gotten one already in spike and said it was our first one To late now.

My root is still growing and going down into the media. My leaf is still growing slowly but has not reached full maturity yet. The other thing, root or spike has not changed I wish it would do something root or spike I no longer care I just want it to grow. Mine needs more roots as well.

New root growing out the bottom of the pot


Baby leaf eaten back to just a stub. Honestly, wtf. This must be one delicious plant.

I might move that baby, they may come back for more

Ah, CambriaWhat cursed bugs. Continuing with the bad news, I think my tiny spike is shriveling up. It has turned a very pale yellow green and it looks kinda wrinkly

My gosh. I would be scarred if something like that happened to mine. Eaten by pesky bugs. Our plants for this project are going through some serious hardships!

Update on mine: I have resolved to let it be for 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. It is being sprinkled every day my misting system. If I get back and it's happy, yay? If not,... maybe it wasn't meant to be? I'm probably one of those people who will buy a replacement a year or two down the line on the off chance it was "just that one plant" and that this next one will take off without a hitch.

eBay had a listing from "Orchidgene" for an Ameselia monticola flask. It was a buy it now listing. I bought it. These seedlings arrived 07/24/15. Today I potted them in tiny terra cotta pots and three are in net pots. I am growing these under lights.

They arrived wrapped in this white paper fabric. Roots were not long but seemed vigorous.

Wow Matt they look so nice... Good luck with the little ones.

[wintergirl]

Very cool! They all look healthy and nice in their pots.

Thank you Cntry and wintergirl! It will be good to see how rapidly they grow. They are in the same grow area as seedling Phalaenopsis.
