New beallara orchid

[snowflake311]

My other Howards dream beallara orchid did not make the abuse it got this summer. I think might have killed it because I watered it wrong it got too hot. Long story.

I thought it would pull threw but now I think it is slowly dying. So I found this one at trader joes. It smells like pepper my daughter likes the smell I think it is weird but fun. The plant is healthy and big! Hope I don't mess this one up. It's so sad because I loved my purple one. This one is pretty I need more white flowers.

It is indeed very pretty.

I have an orchid which I love. It is also a cambria, but a colmanara, not a beallara. I thought I would kill her too. Right after i bought her, she fell (ok! I was clumsy!). :-/ and became wobbly in the pot. I had to repot in the wrong season. She slowly started to decline. I moved her to a shaded place, provided just some water before dry, kept an eye on humidity (i'm lucky it's around 70% here) and provided one of those algae products very diluted once a week to help out inducing roots. Guess what? It took months! Pbulbs look horrible! I swear I was thinking where i would buy a new one ('cause I love the flower!) but it has a new growth! With new roots! The plant will survive! What I mean with this long story is: do not lose hope! Eventually, they do something! Even if she doesn't bloom next season, it's fine! Eventually, she will bloom again.

Nice healthy plant, you'll like this one.

This was my first Oncidium type. I didn't have a clue how to grow it but after 10 years and several divisions it's still going strong.

It's very pretty. I hope it does better for you.

Yes sometimes they surprise you and bounce back I have had this happen before to me a few times.

The abuse my poor plant got was more than a drop.The P bulb turned brown and soft. I removed it. Now the healthy P bulb is turning black and soft. I think it is rotting from the inside. I need to pull it out of the pot and check it again.

Thanks guys we named this plant pepper.
