Phragmipediums update

So, one month passed since my initial "phragmipediums assessment", now it is time to see how they are doing.

Phrag. besseae is still blooming, roots are growing. Small green nub of the new shot is now much larger and starts to hang out of the pot:



Phrag. Eric Young is still blooming too.
New growth on the front fan is developing well:



Two new fans on the back growth are growing nicely:



One of the formations on the old middle fans got a green point and most likely will become yet one more new fan:



And here is the best part. Month ago no green root points were visible in the Eric Young pot, now there it is:



All in all I think they passed the test and seem to be staying. To celebrate this "graduation" of my test phrags I went to Ecuagenera website and pre-ordered three more hybrids: Hanne Popow, Fritz Schomburg and Eumelia Arias...

  1. Are you growing these in the same tank as your Phals??

    1. Well, they are in the second (larger) tank that contains a little bit of everything - phals, paphs, vandas, catts.
