Plastic strings for tying orchids

I ran out of plastic strings and had to restock.  I use these because they are elastic and easy to manage + they don't disintegrate when exposed to the elements. These two bundles will last for quite a while. I got them from Lee Bee Enterprise at Jurong West.

Watering system

After much thought and procrastination i am finally going to set up a watering system. The first parts of the puzzle have started to arrive. These were mostly ordered from Dripdepot. The other stuffs like connectors, pressure regulators, hoses, misters and drippers should be arriving very soon.

Amorphophallus Titanum

This is my Amorphophallus Titanum about to start its hybernation. About 2.5m tall now this will take a few more years before it flowers. Friends always joke that if all 3 flower at the same time, neighbours will be calling the poilce for sure !   I should start looking for larger pots.

If you have one or are planning to grow one, there is good information here.

Phalaenopsis bellina "chen"

This is one of the plants from a flask I bought from a Taiwanese grower. Looks great for a first bloom. Super green around the edges.

Mini fireworks

They resemble fireworks when they bloom. An old specimen that has been around since I started growing orchids.

A first bloom from new hybrid....  a good change from the recent yellow white themes.

Phalaenopsis violacea alba, whats left of an old plant that I have grown for many years. Managed to save it from rot and now happy to see it blooming again. Fragrant !
