Specklinia costaricensis

[Germinatorman]

Specklinia costaricensis - evidently Specklinia have been moved to Pleurothallis - in any event here is costaricensis, that name kinda gives its location away. A miniature found at 650 to 1800 ft. This little fella blooms 3 to 4 times per year for me. You can see the last set of stems still dry on the plant - guess I need to do some spring cleaning.

Great growing Don! Looks like a very nice display of blooms on a healthy orchid plant.

Cheers,

That's what I like to see, a lot of flower spikes on a happy orchid. AL

Don, I wonder how long have you been growing that interesting little plant?

Wow, Don - it may be mini, but it looks pretty mighty!! Obviously, it reallly likes how you treat it.

Wally, I have had this plant for 5 years. Once I broke off a whole stem, no roots, just stem. I stuck it back into the moss, thinkin I just wasted a whole stem. It grew. This little guy is tough. He sits in sphag. moss with a group of Masd. under 4 bulbs, 40 watts each. Gets R.O. water weekly and fed weakly each watering. One watering a month is pure water, no fertilizer.
Thanks all for the comments.

Mini, frequent bloomer, and a tough little so-and-so. Wow! If you ever need to find a home for a stem or two, let me know!!

Sure Patty, just as soon as I find an 'extra stem or two'...........lol
