Advice? Psychopsis w maidenhair invasion
Default Advice? Psychopsis w maidenhair invasion

I've posted before about my (one and only) psychopsis and now I have a new question.

When I repotted to S/H last year I tried to minimize root disturbance as much as possible, so it still contains a bit of the previous bark. Along with the bark came a "funky weed" sprout and I just let it grow. Well, over the past few months it has EXPLODED into a gorgeous maidenhair fern, now overtaking the psychopsis.



What would you do? Try to separate them, or let them be? I've struggled in the past to keep maidenhair ferns alive, but it is happily thriving in S/H. Who knew?

Also perhaps of interest to newer growers, I moved this plant from my classroom to my home for the summer break. When I placed it in my (cool, shaded) car it had two blooms, one bud, and a new flower stalk forming. Two hours later it was a hot, sunny car and the blooms, bud, and stalk were all lost within a week's time. But today... it has a healthy 4th flower spike forming, and all 3 of the previous flower stalks have branched and look like they are going to be just fine. I've posted some pictures of what this looks like.




Interestingly, one of the stalks looks green at the branch AND at the original tip. Might I get two blooms on one spike?

Let me know how you advise regarding The Marvelous Miss Maidenhair. Thanks!
