Hi William, things are really looking good and I made a trip to my local Lowe's and picked up a stack of the plastic pots for the cattleya ...I love ❤️ them and thanks for sharing the tip! And the seedling babies are doing beautifully.....I spread them out in 3 in. Pots with a special media mix ...and they have some more room to get bigger...Dowiana is doing awesome 👌.

Rebecca Northen is Gorgeous! Two years in a row my RN has pooped out on me. This year she grew several new growths but no spikes and NO roots! Maybe next year if I don't kill her first! Happy Thanksgiving to you too! xxo

I just saw Mikabi for sale on Orchid Web. Your plant has beautiful flowers!

[@MyGreenPets]

You're right! And my goodness they want $76.50 plus shipping for it!!

@@MyGreenPets That’s certainly too steep for me! Plus a heat pack or two.

that's interesting that they moved Dendrochilum to Coelogyne. I looked it up and Kew does list it as having been moved in 2021. These changes are based on genomic data and this is where I disagree with classification based solely on genomic data. The Linnaean system of classification is meant to take other factors into account and moving them only on genetics is a disservice to growers. We have orchid clades for a reason, there is no excuse for taking Dendrochilum and moving it to Coelogyne, they are very different plants.

Do you water it when there is flower spikes coming out?

[@MyGreenPets]

i stop watering when the leaves have fallen off.
