A hardier plant, I think, would be good but no more dens from Far East Flora: they all come with crawlies. I'm thinking of getting some more mini dens to keep them indoors in a planter. <br /> <br />It's been hot. I inspect the plants daily, looking for signs of new growth. Today, I found a baby plant on the cattlya I missed - how could I? - and one of the dens is growing a fat cane. The mokara roots are thickening nicely but still no flowers. They seem to be concentrating on root than flower and leaves - why? The dead looking phal has little baby leaves that seem to be increasing in size. The office plant is also showing green tips on their roots. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Eileen Chewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07303267859569427904e_sui@bigfoot.com
