Jewel Orchid

Its grown that big since April?? Thats a real jewel, I do like its shape. And white flowers are always good.

They're one of the easiest orchids to bloom as long as you don't overwater them.

Gosh that has grown quickly Meanie , it's a dainty little thing !

how tall is it?
i learned the orchid overwatering thing this year!! i gather you have to water once a week and let it drain out, as a result my orchid that i bought in march and has flowered ever since now has 48 flowers on!!

It grown really, really well Amy. Three shoots with stems plus two baby stems all from one cutting.

what are you growing it in? George's marvellous medicine?

The tallest spike is 40cm tall Sticki.
Good growing - where's the photo! Your temperature must be so spot on.

Ordinary multi-purpose compost with grit added Sticki.

i can do the multi-purpose compost and the grit but what is the crucial temperature??

Average house temps to warm house (thankfully).

thats ok then, thank you

You did a fantastic job. Mine hasn't bloomed since last year...maybe I should move it?!?!?

They're usually very temperature tolerant Alex.........maybe too much/too little light?

a very nice specimen Meanie..

Nice! I see a lot of these here...I always forget it's an orchid.

Thank you SL and Delonix!
