Sure, be a sadist and bring up repotting! We've begun, and I guess I ought
not complain. Frank gets right into it with me, so we set up a little
assembly line. nd we only have around 250, nothing like so many of you guys.

that account. Its been years since I repotted.

Ugg, me too. I have quite a few Paphs that really need to be repotted but
I never find the time.
Good advice on the light too. My Roth hybrids get more light than most of
the Catts and are growing well.

I started repotting last month and can see a difference in the growth of
my orchids. The catasetums (usually repotted annually but sometimes I
miss) are putting out great roots. And the Catts! Well, some have double
leads. That is to say both 'eyes' are sprouting. I've never had that
happen before. I usually get 1 eye to grow, not both. I guess timing is
everything. Get them when the start to root and (dare I say it) feed and
water the things, LOL!! Heck even some of my vandaceous are growing new
roots. Guess I'll be continuing to pot this weekend. I'd better hurry,
stuff is growing fast around here.
