Lepanthes calodictyon ever used it?

Right back at you, but at least I used punctuation.

In case you didn't noticed the original name of the thread was misspelled and I was actually correcting that and your copy of that incorrect spelling. But, I know some people just don't want to learn.

You are not likely to find them for sale in the US unless it's recently imported. Ecuagenera and Ochuideas de Valle both attend shows in the US and will ship to you from the show.

Hey what can I say? I was just being ornery. Maybe you could answer this burning question I have. You know anything about lepanthes manabina? My plants mature flowering leaves look to have roots coming from where th old spikes are. Can I start new plants from these?

Hahahaha, don't we all. I definitely do not know all there is about this orchid or any other but that Lepanthes as well as many other Pleurothallids produce keikis profusely instead of flowers. Once it has a few leaves and some size it's pretty easy to pop off and start a new plant. Good luck. Do you have a picture of your plant?

That's a topic for a whole other thread already in progress.
If it were more readily available I would be more inclined to try it. I definitely understand wanting t put it in a viv, it's a beautiful little plant

Thanks for the info Harry!!

Yes you can Ive done it three times already with some of mine just make sure you wait until the roots are a decent size before you snip away.
After you do this make sure you are tending to the mother plants needs.
