Phrag Schlimii

That is terrific! How big does that guy get total plant size? (I'm still keeping my eye out for smallish plants that I can grow in my windowsill or kitchen counter under lights).

I have a schlimii seedling that I got 9 months ago from Mike (aka the Orchid Fairy). It's very small, 2 little leaves, and has been holding its own, but not growing. I had it outside for the summer in mostly shade. It's alive and appears fine, but just not growing. Any thoughts? Can seedlings stall this long?

That really is a cute little beggar.
Good growing.

My Phrag seedlings seemed to do nothing for months(i repotted them into s/h as soon as i got them) , about 2 months ago they went into my growroom & they looked terrible.Leaves seemed to be slightly bleached & the tip of the leaves turned brown/black.
Less feed & less light i thought but after a couple of weeks no improvement.Dropped the seedlings out of the s/h pots & was surprised to see the roots had just started to grow.Repotted them about 1" lower in the s/h & they took off like a whippet with it,s ass on fire.1 is now in full spike(Phrag ST Ouen) & it,s only about 12" LS.The roots have grown into the res & the plants look a hell of a lot healthier.

I've wanted to say this for a *really* long time, well, since you posted! That has got to be the sweetest, most adorable schlimii I have ever seen. I love it! I held off getting one for a long while, but when I saw your pic, Lisa, I had to have one. I really hope mine is half as cute as yours! Something about the side petals and the amount of yellow and freckles - well, it is very special!
