It’s gorgeous! I mean just stunning leaves. Potted perfectly doesn’t even need repotted yet! One of me new doctors phragmepediums! It’s so happy and seems to enjoy whatever is thrown at it! Would love some repotting and watering instructions for novice growers tho!
I loved this one. It came so green and so happy! New growth looks wonderful! It’s fitting right in! I’m a very novice orchid collector so I’m learning the watering aspects for this one particularly. Very happy with the specimen sent!
I received this plant about three weeks ago. It came very yellowed and the new growth seemed rotted and dying. I’ve been keeping it mostly dry and trying to water here and there, but this little guy is struggling.
