Hello everyone! I hope this note finds each of you in good
health.
It's been great reading the progression of thought, personal observations,
etc. concerning the production of 'catch roots'. Not to change the subject
- but ...
I have yet to get flowers from Neostylis Lou Sneary, Brassavola nodosa, and
only a couple from Cochleanthes amazonica (which tries to flower all
winter). What I mean is they begin to show an inflorescence which turns
brown soon after ( dry in the first two plants, wet in the last case ).
It's very frustrating. Especially since I have other plants - Enc alata,
Bc Nok Noi, Bl Yellowbird, Hwra Lava Burst, Onc Sharry Baby, Soph cernua, even a
pleuro - with which I have no problem. All the plants are grouped
together in the same window, with the same humidity, same water source and
feeding schedule, same misting.
The stubborn plants are positioned to receive what I believe is the
right amount of light (evidenced by the fact they try to flower -
correct?)
I have considered the humidity may be low, but don't understand why, if
that's the case, why only some plants are affected.
Any ideas or advice?
Thanks in advance!
Bob Campoli - Philadelphia, PA - A rescued (from HD) pink Phal
(with nice silvery and gray-green leaves), and Leptotes bicolor with
flowers.
