Great; I am ready to get started as soon as my stuff arrives. I will pick up some seaweed, too. Do you use that in place of or in addition to orchid fertilizer (like Shutts)?

It is to be used with your fertilizer.

I received the orchid pots and medium I had ordered and repotted half of my orchids yesterday. Those poor things have been through the war! I put them in much smaller pots than they had been in. They were way overpotted before. I think they need to rest for a long time and just recover.

When I was repotting them, I actually found another mealy. I thought I was done with those as I have resprayed about three times. They are insidioius and very persistent. I have been using Bayer Rose spray. Thanks for all of your help.
