Gorgeous, love those blooms! I gave mine a dry rest but it has not bud up yet! I guess I gave it a bit too late! Anyways yours look great, thanks for sharing and happy growing 😊
Has it warmed up where you are yet? We were in the low 70s for a while during the day, low 60s all winter-when it reached mid 70s during the day is when I started to see growth on the canes.
I saw another grower say that she discovered birds eating her orchid buds. Could that’s be happening to you? I’d like to see a video of propagating keiki’s from canes? Is that possible?
Oh I think that was Kelly from Orchids in Paradise that has that issue. Fortunately that little black bird isn’t found on Maui. I read about that bird and it does indeed eat orchid buds, it’s called a bulbul, which is an invasive species. I’m thinking it’s thrips or neem oil that is drying out my spikes.
@@kc-a7907 don’t have a video, but can work on one for you. I’ve toted my Honohono with me for 5yrs now and haven’t killed it yet so I’d be happy to share what I’ve learned with you so far. 👍🏼
Beautiful plants and garden!
Mahalo!

@@randyonmaui Not yet. I live in UK and it's still about 50s , so may be that's the reason. Thanks for letting me know. 🙂

@@randyonmaui Do you have a video about how to care for the Honohono and how to promote new growth after the blooms fade?
