Stunning. Makes all the effort worth it. What is your watering and feeding regimen? Average temp and humidity? Still waiting for a bud on mine. Much encouraged thanks

[cabbo]

I'm with Amanvari...how'd you do it!

I grow all my Phrags in S/H. They get watered about once a week with 1/4 strength MS fertilizer each watering. I have them in my basement under lights, average temps (75 to 80) except for summer which gets a bit warmer.

I have a humidifier in there so I try to keep the humidity 55% or above. They do like lots of light. I have good luck with Phrags, they grow like weeds for me. When they are in S/H I only repot when they get to large for their pots.

My basement seems to be ideal for growing orchids. I have an Ascda just starting to bloom right now.

Marilyn,
I don't know if I've ever expressed myself in this way on the OB before, but...OMG!

Like everyone else has expressed, you've done a job very well here! Congratulations on such a wonderful display!

Marilyn,
I just wanted to let you know that after you first posted this thread, I bought one of these in spike. It has 2 flowers and opened about 2 weeks ago. You are also a great enabler. I'm also thinking about putting it in S/H.

WOW! that's amazing!

S/H i suppose stands for semihydroponic?
