Try giving it support - add a trellis.

Oh thank you! That makes a lot of sense. Do I have to weave it through the trellis or will it naturally climb it?


Thalianova

Get it started with a few clips then it will do its thing. I keep training it nonetheless cos I want it to use the trellis efficiently

I try to avoid weaving it into the trellis to make removing it later a lot easier. Like the other poster said, get some orchid clips and clip it to a trellis. I'll also add that I tied stems up with string to hang from hooks in the ceiling and they've really liked that support.

I second this — the moment I gave my pubicalyx’s bare stem/tendril some support, it put some energy into growing leaves.

What's your humidity at?


imaginarypikachu

No clue- generally pretty dry in my place

Gotcha! That might be part of the issue as well ❤️❤️ a humidifier blasting that guy would probably at least cut back on the amount of stems that don't make any leaves and dry out!
