Hey TIN! you better get one too!

Currently I have and Lc. Tokyo Magic and an Lc. Purple Cascade 'Fragrant Beauty'. That one has not bloomed for me yet. The Tokyo Magic bloomed for me soon after I got it, and both have put on some good growth for me over the last year. Now they are both on their second round of new growths. I'm worried Im doing something wrong.
I also have two Slc.s and one is growing like crazy as well, but non have become mature leaves yet.

I heard they need lots of light and I have been misting daily. I read recently that misting is a waste of time, like a drop in the bucket. But, I guess if you have humidity with the pebble tray that would be enough, and misting isn't necessary. I'd like to hear from others on this one...too mist or not to mist daily.

Tin, I tried to find pictures of these in your photo gallery. Do you have any pics of what the flowers look like?

Hi,
This is my Slc. Mini Beau or something

and here is my Tokyo Magic:

That one was really fragrant, I can still remember the way it smelled and filled my apartment with its perfume. Yummy!!
The Purple Cascade has not bloomed for me.
I recently, a few weeks ago, decided to move the Purple Cascade and the Tokyo Magic right up to my window so they could get fully bathed in morning sunshine. Ofcourse the wheather decided not to cooperate until the last two days. GOOooooo Blooms!!!
