I also came here looking for help with problem plants. Mine's not done as well as yours, but I've got a really good new leaf growing, and it's all thanks to the guys here.



I love the colour of the Hippeastrum. I have a red one with a white center (a NoID) which unfortunately fell over while in flower back in April. It broke the flower stem and damaged the leaves. It sulked for a while, then put out more leaves and I'm just starting to think about drying it off for the winter. It's a huge plant which spreads accros our kitchen windowledge with leaf tips touching the wall on both sides of the window.

Thanks Rosie-- but you know I didn't do anything special to get my phal to respond this way-- I think it happens to be a particularly aggressive cultivar. So you should be very proud of your phals recovery!!! How many phals are you up to??? I haven't counted mine-- just a guess I have about 10 now. The original three are all growing-- some well some just ok.

I have 11 phals, one of which is a mini. When I came here last July I had one dying one and was just about to buy two more. I've somehow managed to avoid killing any yet, all due to the help of everyone here.

I also have 7 of other orchid types (Den, Paph, Masdy, Miltonia) I'm sure that as I get more and more adventurous in what I buy, it's only a matter of time before I succeed in killing some
