All potted up and happy. I hope. I'd like to see some new root growth on it. Looked to be a little over fertilized, some salt build up on the bottom of the pot, so I changed up the mix (the one it was in was quite decomposed.) So, I hope the re-potting helps to perk it up a bit and get some new roots growing.

Looks like a very happy and healthy Sander's Pride to me.

Gorgeous plant!
I think it's bigger than mine by a good bit. I would imagine when that growing leaf finishes developing it should flower. Hope you get to see some flowers soon.

Thanks! I agree!
I'm actually quite surprised it has no new starts and hasn't bloomed yet, that is why I asked you about size the other day, though that was before I had seen this, but I knew the size. Parkside has your size also and lists them as blooming size. I think there are some root issues, as indicated, so hopefully, repotting will help and it will take off for me.

This plant is showing slight water stress, so make sure it gets some good moisture for a few weeks.

Actually, I agree, as previously mentioned, something in it's past care was not up to snuff. I am keeping a close watch on it and watering accordingly.

Thanks, nope, from Vintage Orchids. Though, Parkside has them also. I was ordering something else that Parkside didn't have.
