Hi

Would help to know which kind?? There are dozens if not hundreds plus hybrids with many different growing habits . The biggest problem is water

Sounds like your on the way gary

Some of the names are Vanilla Sunset, Over the Top, Napa, Rumpelstilskin, Kazoo, El Presidente, Hocus Pocus, Bertha T. Loose and that type. I also have a couple unnamed ones that I traded for. Those "leaves" were not as big, as wide, as long as the above mentioned. My Ackermannii with red flowers (not old enough to bloom yet) looks even a little different than the above.

I guess one question is do I start watering now like a regular plant? Or because they rooted "dry" should I introduce water gradually? Appreciate any help!---Rosie

orchids grow three kinds of roots; soil, water, and air. If you started them in truly dry media, they probably developed air roots, which won't appreciate too much water. You could try keeping just the very bottom of the soil damp, encouraging them to develop soil roots.

Makes sense, I am giving them little bits at a time. Hope it works out well. Thanks!!! Rosie
