Thanks Gary, So bottom line is that you plain & simply have that "good
growing green thumb knack"! *G*
Glad you are feeling better & you are still amazing with what you accomplish
with your medical problems.
Cannot find you on Ebay?
Cheers Wendy

Not a problem, I understand. yesterday I had 6 shot into my back and 4
into my hips. And forgive me for not being much help but I don't do much
of anything to our water, it's naturally 5.2 right out of the ground,
sometimes as low as 4.8 No special fertilizer, just a constant very low
dose of 1 tsp/ gal. For now that works perfect for me and temp never goes
below 50 F. for only a 2 weeks or so then up to 60F lows.
The doc seems to have caught it just right. Had the shots at 8AM and slept
the rest of the day and night. This morning there's just enought ache left
to remind me I better not overdo it today but its better than I've felt in
many months.

Ok, sounds like my house but then what types of fert do you use & do you
have
special water for your orchids. Forgive me if I have asked before.
Just had 3 root canals done yesterday afternoon & I feel like I've been
in a boxing match!
Thus the reason I am still on the computer at this time.
Cheers Wendy (Who loves your stuff)

I just grow it mounted like I described and grow under intermediate
condition all year. I use even water and fertilizer regimens and about 30
% shade in summer, 0-20% shade in winter.

Wowee! Now Gary, I am still convinced you have a special secret.
I have one in the greenhouse & killed two outside. Andy told me to grow
them outside.
There are a couple of new tipped roots but thats it.

Your orchid bloom rate is tremendous to say the least.
Good growing to you.
Cheers Wendy

This plant is a mount with coconut fiber on cedar shingle (about 9 x
12 inches). The stem that has floers fully opened and bloomed before.
The one just opening is the first time. There is a third stem higher
up that's just beginning to send out a bloom stem. Great!
