Update on the baby....pretty sure it wont survive it has completely collapsed. I HATE THAT!
MY BIG ONE: has become slightly wilted but its not terrible and no where squishy like my baby. Theres that at least...right? With a good spike growing. It will be driving with me to my field placement for the next few weeks.
@@ Katrina I finally found (read:rembered! Haha) the time release osmocote and added it to all my heavy feeders.

I am glad we don't get grasshoppers that big up here. Hope your orchid is doing better. I use that same fertilizer that Katrina recommended...for all my plants now.  For some I have to add iron to lower the pH but, wow, it is good stuff. |

I actually use Iron sulfate to lowers the pH, not just plain iron. A lower pH helps free the iron for the plants to use. Many plants that prefer a lower pH also prefer more iron. So, what I said is actually technically wrong. Sorry. I hope this clarifies things. :|

The baby will not make it i keep hoping...its completely collapsed now. But I am still praying. Maybe it will go to sleep and create a new baby.

At least you have the other. I still find these a mystery. My Wine Delights have been out in full sun all summer but I don't see any sign of future blooms even if they look happy. I am guessing I am still missing something. :|

Good luck with the larger one. Hopefully that one will pull through for you.
