Hi,

Thank you all who helped me, what a great bunch!
My 1-and-only orchid, all buds have opened.
I lost 3, almost 4, probably from the repotting while blooming(?). the one on the very bottom hung on, rejuvenated, and opened!

The RepotMe Monterey Dark... (?) bark mix does definitely at least double my watering frequency. Sometimes I wish I’d have used just (or more) Gold Imperial!

The GE Daylight led bulb 1600lumen... seems to work.

One of my leaves has a light yellow tip (included pic), but seems to stay about the same, I guess.

Here is my photo album link, as well.
Orchid 1 - Google Photos
There’s a video of me repotting it in there!

ps. the “table top” location is just for the photo. it lives by the inside lanai glass door (closed) with the supplemental lamp set to 6am-8pm. NEVER above 74° in here, more like 72, 62 all night. I do not mist, very rarely if ever.

Tedro, it's a good thing you don't have to buy film like we did in the Stone age. You'd be broke. Lol. Nice job. You've bloomed and repotted, learned and grown. Good job. Nicely done.
