Orchid otheca

[simonsito98]

It's been 37 days since my my orchid laid an otheca and no hatch ..should I be worried ? 75 degrees every other day misting...screening cup on all all sides for ventilation lightly glued on opp side for proper hatching downward to occur

Yah... you should be worried. give it another month, though.

Mine hatched around 6 weeks.

I wouldn't worry yet. My ooths took between 41-45 days, kept at 80 degrees. There could be slight variations due to temperature.

"Yah... you should be worried. "

Why? Please don't comment if you're not sure.

I wouldn't be worried. The average incubation period for H. coronatus is 6 weeks and can take up to 3 months if the conditions are not favourable.
