Your plant will outgrow the small pot this year, so be prepared to pot up after the next bloom period.

When Zygos are happy, they can bloom several times a year. I have one in bloom in a 1-gal pot that is on its third bloom sequence of the year, all three bloom spikes on two new growths! Love the intense fragrance!

I use a different potting media, but if yours works for you, let it be. When you pot up, you may want to tweak it a bit based on how it has performed with your current plant. That is how we all learn to grow better.... trial and error based on knowledge and common sense.

Thanks folks. I'm thinking about keeping it outside for the spring-summer-early fall, do you think it will get too hot for it in East Texas? It gets to 100+ easily during the summer days with hot nights.
