Oh, and I use the normally sold urea free concentrated water soluble fertilizers that are as close to 20-20-20 as possible. Plants grow and bloom just fine.

All the bulbs except for one are shriveled. I have been misting the plant. The leaves are quite long. The piece of bark it is mounted on is about 5" x 6". And thank you, "King of Orchid Growing" ,for the info you so generously passed on. I sure hope it makes it!! I will be checking on my new baby constantly. ruthann

If the mounted plant doesn't already have moss covering the roots. Or if the moss is crusty and looks like it needs to be removed because it's breaking down, I would put new moss over the roots.

Water everyday. You can get away with this during the spring/summer. Cut back during the fall and winter.

It would help the plant to initiate a flower spike if it received a 10 degree F to 20 degree F temperature difference between day and night.

Good luck.
