Hi! I have never propagated an orchid like this and I had it in water propagation but it doesn’t seem to be making a difference in growth. I took it out and have it in charcoal but I’m scared that will just dry it out and I can’t come back from that? Can someone please help!! **the last picture is how I have her right now
This is a mature plant. It isn’t a baby.
She’s bigger than my mayonnaise. Her leaves are bigger than my minions. She’s in a three or 4 inch clear pot and she’s got marvelous big fat green roots but the question is this is there an orchid she’s obviously a.Phal, that is somewhere between a mature orchid, like the one hanging over her. You think you could just see a little bit of the bloom hanging over her that’s a big orchid that’s hanging over her. Is there something between a true mini and this lady that’s in orange pot at the biggest my minis are in 2 inch pots and they bloom at that size but not like this so anybody know the answer is there a middle species, metal growth growth pattern to my big monsters and my little tiny elves and this beautiful plant is she just a large mini?
I've had this wonderful miniature in my collection for some time now and have even posted about it a few times. She is finally ready for that macro treatment that I give all my overacheiving and beautiful orchids!
I absolutely love this one! Very easy to care for, unique fan palm-like foliage that has an orange tint when receiving enough light and constantly flowering year round! I recall being jealous of u/Llumina_Starweaver 's for having so many spikes in the past. Completely unnecessary on my part 😅 I just needed to give mine patience and persistent conditions it favors...6 spikes is wild 🤯!

I thought you all might enjoy my wildly overgrown Phalaenopsis deliciosa.
I can't take responsibility for growing it to this size- I bought it like this and had planned to split it up, but when it arrived I loved it just as it is. It has several tags on the back including one identifying it as Kingidium decumbens (a name that went away in 2001) with what seems to *maybe* be a date of 7/88, but the last number is smudged away so I can't be sure if it is actually that date or any date. Also, I think that there are two mounts under all those roots.
The bad news is that is has both snails and mealy bugs. I have been treating it for mealies first with a PureCrop 1 drench becasue I had it, but am moving up to a systemic insecticide with 1.47% imidacloprid in it with the next watering. I am keeping a little bit drier at the moment to keep the snails in their shells so I can deal with them later.
Im going to a plant expo this weekend, and im looking to get my first miniature orchids. I have Phalaenopsis orchids, and ive gotten their care down, and absolutely love them. So im wondering if anybody has any tips, or advice on what i should get as a first time miniature orchids owner like a beginner level, or anything you feel may be useful for me to know, and be prepared for? A picture of the new blooms on my Phalaenopsis for attention. Thank you 😊.
Really want one, cannot justify buying a whole flask for myself Can provide full reciepts for all costs involved and won't ask for any margin.
I'm still adjusting climate parameters at my orchidarium. This tiny Aerangis seems to like it already
I'll probably pluck the keiki and replant it after it has 3-4 full leaves open.
Nine S. fragrans mounted on 5 barks and two S. tixieri.
S. fragrans have barely roots, I bought them with a deal price. They’re on deal cause their roots are not in good condition. But I know how to help them grow new roots, so not a problem but a great deal!
I love them so much. In the past year I grew a lot tixieri and they bloomed for me luckily. I guess they got some sort of power making people fall in love with them…
I have several” mini” phals. But this little girl just gave me her first flower her partner in her pot is giving me a new growth in the crown, which is making me very happy but the other thing that the reason I posted this is not because there’s anything particular about her, but please take a look at that plant any of you who are wondering if you have a true mini phal or not take a look at her carefully and also her partner. She is a true mini phal. First of all she’s blooming and her size of the bloom is actually pretty good for a mini the other point is please look at the leaves they’re fat they’re full their mature leaves. Please focus on the word mature. So many people buy seedling. Phals I think they’re getting minis as long as you know it’s a Seed thing I buy them all the time because I end up with the monsters after a few years I have.phals that are amazingly satisfaction so I don’t care if they’re actually true minis, but I do care if I’m being deceived that’s my point minis are not expensive. I don’t know why anyone would go to the bother to sell seedling phals as many as they’re both desirable, you know if you screw up and you get a baby seedling phal then you’re gonna have a great plan later, but it does bother me when I think I’m buying a mini. I’ve gotten very picky about how I look at that plant before I buy it if I prefer a mini and I do for my windowsill. I’ve got some Giant four year-phals they actually have to make room for they’re so big and I intend to let them grow that way when they grow a Kiki if I have room, I leave it there the bigger the plant the better is go to Longwood Gardens if you live in Pennsylvania or Maryland and take a look at some of those gorgeous gigantic orchids, they have there because they have the space to just let them grow and grow and grow and when mama blooms they all bloom what a show. Anyway, I got a message for someone who was concerned about minis and that’s the only reason I’m posting all this nonsense. I’m certainly not an expert, but I do know the difference between a seedling.phal and a mini when I go to buy it so if you’re looking and you’re interested and you wanna make sure you’re getting a mini take a look at their leaves you can see from the one I’m posting that she is mature. She has also is her partner next-door. Who’s growing a new beautiful leaf out of her crown but my minis leaves are mature. They’re fat they’re thick. They’re wonderful and the flower is actually bigger than you would expect on a mini so if you are buying something in the grocery store and they frequently come in those little duplicate pots where there’s one shot on one side of one shot on the other side size wise. Take a look at the leaves take those little clear pots out look at those roots if those leaves don’t look fat and the right color, don’t buy it if you want a mini if you don’t mind paying for a seedling, that’s gonna end up being a beautiful plant for you then do that I buy seedlings way too often but. This is simply response to someone that sent to me about buying a mini or Seat so that’s the information I have and I’m sending you a picture of my absolute mini. This is her first blossom and it’s bigger than I would’ve expected for the little girl that she is.
The other plant on this mount is still doing barely anything, but it's old cane is still plump, so I hope it'll do something next year :)
Also called vanda nana.
Will she bloom for me🥹 I pray for the bloom, it’s her first time spiking for me.
