Angraecum eburneum
Beautiful, Wendy. What do you do with yours? We have a huge one, but it is a
sporadic bloomer. Actually, it wouldn't bloom at all until I moved it out to the Vanda area a few years ago. Then it came out with multiple spikes, just gorgeous. But for the last two years, nothing but big new growths. I have read that they don't like to be repotted until they've bloomed. This one really needed it, so we gave it a new pot/media right after the big bloom. I wonder if these are so recalcitrant that they just hate having their roots disturbed.

Interestingly, I had sprayed the heck out of two plants both in wood slat
baskets. Yes the had the dreaded Mealies! I took them out of the greenhouse to treat them & when I put them back I hung them down low under the bench level, much lower light & this is the best they have bloomed for me? They get the same treatment as all the other children. Intermediate conditions, water twice a week in summer, 1/4 strength GroMor with a flush every so often.

Well, I went back through my books becasue I thought there was a distinct
rest required... but I was wrong. Just about everyone says these are intermediate to warm growers, like light but will turn yellow in too much sun (Hillerman says Cattleya light), like evenly moist basket conditions or other open medium. Supposedly they'll grow well outdoors in Puerto Rico, Hawaii and warmer (tropical) areas of Florida. Supposedly they flower in the winter. Maybe those great new growths will flower this year?

Hopefully, it will throw out some spikes. I think it likes where it is;
leaves are a medium green. It's on the end of the Vanda area where the Catts begin, so I think the light is just right. Diana "K Barrett" wrote in message ...

Angraecum eburneum - Name Error Attn:- Diana
I was taking more photographs today & discovered that I have made an error.
Not Angraecum eburneum but good old faithful Longiscott. Now I have bloomed my eburneum in the past, had it much warmer & higher light. Also it has a short doo dah? Sadly another one that got scale. Cheers Wendy "Wendy7" wrote in message ... Angraecum eburneum |

Right you are. It's Longiscott. That's what happens when one doesn't look
closely. I have both, but the one that I have been discussing is eburneum. BTW, Longiscott has been a scale magnet for me in the past, though it's been a while and seems okay now.
