Hi there,

I am new to the forum as I was doing research on two ghost orchids that I have which are:

Chiloschista Usneoides and a mini called Polyrrhiza Lindenii

I do not fuss with these at all and they are both mounted. I have them hanging above my kitchen sink and they are getting light from a skylight in my kitchen and a west facing window.

I spray them with a product called UltraGrowth and they are thriving. They only get sprayed once a day. Actually the Chiloschista Usneoides is sending something out and it looks like a leaf but these are leafless so I am hoping it is the beginning of a spike as I believe June is around the time that they flower but it looks like it will be a while before I see what it is.

I just sprayed them the other day with an organic OMRI biobizz fish-mix and so far no reaction from them.

I thought they would be hard to grow but so far I am having great success with them and like I said I don't fuss a lot with them. I have only had the mini since last fall and the Chiloschista Usneoides I bought this winter. The Chiloschista Usneoides had no new growth before I started using the UG.
