Cutie! I love it. You should bring it to the SOS meeting on the 30th.

Very nice! I have one but it isn't blooming! Care to share any growing tips?? Are you going to the next S.O.S. meeting?

I am not sure yet but if I do I am going to try to bring the plant. I need some clear plastic square pots. 5" and 6". Do you guys still have some?

I grow this under 2x2 foot T5 fluorescent fixtures. I added dolomitic lime on the medium and fertilize at a quarter strength of 7-9-5 fertilizer every watering. The medium is chc, perlite, charcoal and a bit of sphagnum moss 2:1:1:1. Humidity is 50-60% and temp is between 19-27.

Hi eggshells. Thanks for the growing info. Mine should be happy and appears to be, so we'll see. As far as the clear pots, we don't carry 5" and 6" because those are not too hard to find here. The small ones are the problem. Lee Valley sells 5" round for a good price and Early's Garden Centre here has several different 5" pots. I'm not sure if square can be found tho.
