Leave it where it is until the leaves get to be at least 3" (7.5 cm) tall.

baby orchid as this company's tenth anniversary present?

for 20 years does he get a full grown one?

[lemonchan]

haha lets hope we get one in about 6 ys XD

ill keep you guys updated with my baby's progress!

i have another question, do i have to fertilize it somehow? i believe its going well with this gel only.. but maybe it needs more food... should i? and with what?

thank you guys!

Preferably urea free fertilizer at about 1/4 strength the bottle's recommended concentration, once every 2 wks, is good enough.

A good guideline for an adequate N-P-K ratio is 20-20-20. It doesn't have to be precisely 20-20-20. Close enough is fine.
