I forgot to ask do you grow inside (window or under lights or greenhouse)
or outside.
I'm wondering if you could install an automatic watering system. I'm pretty
lazy so I use them when ever and where ever I can. Of course if your grow
inside the house it wont work.

Grow well and bloom magnificently

I grow in a window; two actually, one facing south and one facing east.

I was actually designing a system that would work in the housee, and be
as attractive as a nice piece of furniture. Imagine a curio cabinet or
a china cabinet, but with a metal halide lamp or two in the top (hidden
from view of course), separated from the plants by glass, and a
reservoir in the bottom containing water with rather dilute fertilizer,
and a drip tray to catch surplus water from each irrigation. There'd
be small fans to provide air movement across the drip tray to provide
humidity. A cabinet the size of the curio cabinets I've seen at Leon's
would hold two or three specimen sized phals, while one the size of my
mother's china cabinet would hold a couple dozen comfortably.

Cheers,
