Yup! I'm thinking Nick's has a better selection of orchids than Tagawa's has. They've got some real great plants over there.
Thanks for the nice words all! I really like this new orchid. My first catt. like orchid, so we'll see how it fairs. I think it'll be great though. From what I've seen about this and simular orchids that I have, it should do great in my conditions.
Whiterabbit, I grow my Carnival Costume in my orchid enclosure under some bright lights. The enclosure is also in front of a bright Eastern facing window, so I get a lot of morning light on the plants on the top shelf. The leaves on the Onc. have a nice tinge of redness on the edges. There is also a humidifier in the enclosure to keep things nice and humid. I water it once a week by soaking it in water for about 20 minutes and then it gets suplimental water from a spray bottle mid week. I also mist the leaves at least once a day. Someone here told me they seem to like that. I also spray down the many arial roots in between the leaves. Maybe that's it.
Good luck!
