It's growing in coarse perlite. That back lighting is the evening sun streaming through the living room window. I love summer evenings!

Turns out there are *two* more buds. I'm loving' it!

Question Vuyl. Michelle Rehfield 'Pacific Passion'

I'm not having much luck with this plant. I don't think we are on the same wavelength. After much work, we may have figured out a compatible watering routine, but it's still not happy. :_(

It's likely the shock from the hot water that's zapping buds. I can't see soap doing it, after all, some mild insecticides are basically soap.

Hey, if my phal can handle being victimized by a...

Mine seems odourless. I'm looking forward to when the spikes on Ocidium Twinkle Red open in a few weeks. I'm sure the air will smell around here then!

I suppose just cut the spike near the base like with other Oncidia? Then come the fall ease back on food and water a bit? Haven't thought that far ahead yet!! Am I on the mark?

Good point! I had forgotten about snails. The goldfish tank doesn't have any, so I should be okay there, but I'll definitely watch out.

Lene Th., how do your orchids make out light-wise? I'll bet...

Fishtank water

Does anyone else here use water syphoned off from the goldfish tank to water their orchids? Does anyone dunk their mounted/basket-potted orchids in the tank from time to time? I've been doing this...

I'd probably repot in that same size, after replacing the medium. I'm not fond of dendrobiums in sphagnum (although I'm sure it works great for folks in really dry areas). Once you get the moss out,...

I last paid about $50 to ship 15 plants to Newfoundland. Part of what gets you is the Xpresspost - the rates start fairly high. I'd guess that you should have enough left on the card, but I might see...

My oncids are in sphagnum, too. They're quite happy that way. In the growing season, I let the moss get to not-quite dry when I stick a finger about an inch into the moss before watering. I used to...
