It came with 4 spikes and three growing buds, one of the buds already shows red color. Plant grew out of the pot and needed repotting. When unpotted, I was impressed by fat and healthy roots filling all the space.
Taking moss out was quite easy and I didn't have to trim anything. I tried to not disturb plant and didn't even uncurled the roots so they are still in shape of old pot. I put some packing peanuts in the hollow space under the base:
I decided to keep it in plastic pot with moss since that's how it was potted before. I arranged the long aerial roots on the top of the media all around the plant:

Wow, those roots are amazing. They did a great job growing that plant; hopefully it likes you just the same.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope it does.

ReplyDeleteThat looks like it could be cornu-cervi fma chattaladae.
ReplyDeleteYes, I thought so too when I looked up pictures of the chattaladae on the web, but my label just states 'red' and I definitely didn't pay the chattaladae price (they are quite expensive).
