Again w/the washed out flowers...hopefully the new pic space will solve this.

Love the pendant orchids!

Brassavola cebolleta - super bright light and let dry between waterings.



Brassavola cucullata -- This is the smaller of my 2 plants. I goofed and didn't get pics of the bigger one. This is a great plant and it'll bloom a couple of times a year if given sufficient light. I keep them in a S window w/supp of HO T5s and in the Summer they get direct sun most of the day. This one is in clay w/leca....



And, Epidendrum parkinsonianum -- another easy grower if given enough light. Bright and let dry between waterings.

Very nice collection. I love them, too, and also grow B cucullata. The parkinsonianum is fabulous!

Great pendants! It looks like you grow these ones in front of the window with a water catching bin/bag below them?

Thanks everyone!!

isurus -- Yep, you see the water catch thingee there. I moved the plant from it's regular spot to get the pic...and I did it while I was watering. Those catch thingees come apart and are kept in the storage room when not in use.

My mount stations are vertical units hung under HO T5s at windows...so natural light AND HO T5. They spend the colder months in these spots and when it warms up all my plants go outside.
Here's a pic...to give you an idea of the area. The L window faces East and the other window is South facing.


This is just one corner of my grow space. Most of my shelving units also have trays that drain into buckets. Hubby built these for me last year and since then...my watering/fert takes SO MUCH less time.

Thanks again for the great comment everyone.

Dedicated growers always find a solution.
And your plants get the proper amount of light to stay healthy and flower well. I am impressed.
