Tolumnia Genting Orange

[james mickelso]

What happens is the salts clog the pores of the roots and eventually it starts to take a toll on the leaves. It reduces vigor and stalls flowering. The leaves can burn especially on thin leaved plants like the oncidiums and tolumnias. Cyms leaves burn from the tips down. I use the RO water you get from the machines in front of the supermarkets. Even if you blend tap water and the RO it is still better than straight tap water. I work in the water industry and know what the water is like. It's worth the 30 cents a gallon to use the RO.

Thanks for the info.
Yeah, I heard about the funky things superthrive is capable of doing! never used myself, but now I am tempted. lol

Ok, I thought mine dried out because the air was too dry but I guess it's not the case then. maybe I should try superthrive and see if I too can get abundant slightly scented mutant flowers!

Sensational!! Love the Tolumnias.

great job blooming it!!! i think it might be because of superthrive usage. the other ones arent severely disfigured, but that may be the cause of they variation
