Aclimating Acquisitions

[Mark V]

Diane, psychopsis Mendenahall 'Hildos'. You gave me advice on it a couple months ago in the "psychopsis emergency" thread . I did divide it. I have only watered them with a mister since and give them the occasional misting with a 1/8th strength 20-20-20 solution. The leaves have wrinkled a little, but not dramatically. I haven't had the courage to lift the rhizome clips to check root progress. If I have blessings of the CHID DIETIES, how long should the roots be now?

Hmm... did it have any roots? I don't remember exactly what was the condition. Figure 1 - 2 " new root growth if it is happy. Since the leaves have started to wrinkle, I would take the plunge and check the roots.
