My saved Wilsonara
I wish I would have jotted down exactly when I started this little project and also that I had taken pictures of it with no roots. I had not watered this one enough long ago when I first got it and I killed all the roots. It had none, I didn't take any pics because I was certain it was going to die.
I wrapped it in spagh and set it right by the kitchen sink so I would spray it every day. It finally started roots and then I potted it in one of my fruit cups and the roots took off. Just this spring I re-potted it in a 3" pot and now it is growing a spike hooray I' so happy 
Pictures: The first 2 are before I potted it and then next ones are that baby shoot all grown up. |

You can do it, I know you can. It does take some work but I just set them by my kitchen sink that way I don't forget them. If I put them somewhere else I would

Awesome! I applaud you for caring to save them, that takes a lot of patience but is definitely rewarding in the end. Looking forward to see it in bloom!  |
