Cleisocentron merrilianum

Amazing. My plant is approaching bloom, too. I've never seen it before.

 

Love it! Mine is growing but no flower yet.

 

Wonderful! Thank you for the additional information pacome.

Apparently many of the plants in cultivation sold under the name Cleisocentron merrillianum are actually Cleisocentron gokusingii.

 

Can't wait to see that bloom!

 

I'll have to give this another try. Last year my buds never opened.

 

ohhhh, this is a wonderful specie, congratulations, I look forward the picture of the opened flowers !
I have had one potted plant that used always to bloom, after 3 years it has dead so I've recently bought another plant (big plant) on cork slab I hope to see some bud soon.
I wish my new plant is more succesful than the previous

 

I bought my first one at POE last March, bare root {no roots} and potted in a 2in. clay pot with moss. Intermediate temps, bright indirect light, it bloomed last May and is in spike again now. after I saw the photo of Pacome's in spike I wanted to pull mine out of the pot to see if it had made roots yet, thats when I saw it was in spike again, so I left it alone. So blue, so beautiful!

 

It's reassuring to hear that others have found that re-establishing them yields sparse root growth initially. I haven't been too worried about mine, but it has taken longer than I expected for my stem cutting to grow new roots. I mounted mine on cork with coco-fibre, but after waiting for 5 months to see any new roots, I added a layer of NZ sphagnum (for short term) on top of the root zone. Now I have 3 lovely roots coming out.

 

neato!!!!!!!!

 

meraviglioso!

 

Wonderful color. How big are the indivdual flowers?

 

beside australian sp of Thelymitra I think it is the most blue flowering Orchid, ever so cute.

The color is ethereal!
