Good advice...thanks again,

Wow...tripled in size! That's awesome. They must really like the care you're giving them!

I don't do well with sphag, so I would have repotted, too.

So, yours flowered for 3 mo. That's awesome.

I agree....just the plant itself is pretty. I love varigated leaves....like my Psychopsis. I think it looks cool.

Thanks for your reply and input,
Vicki

They have tripled in size, with two watering a week. One with Fert. and seaweed and one without. They are varg leaves and make a pretty plant even without flower, but the flowers lasted three months. They are such a beautiful orchid.

Hi,
I can certainly relate to 'clueless'. I am really looking forward to your thread.

Impulse buying. I'll make a separate post somewhere. I really had no clue how often to water or how much light etc....
