Most mediums should be replaced fairly frequently. I don't know what a Restrapia is so I can't say about that. flush it well with pure water every 3/4 weeks as it does build up nutrients.

I'd love to have a Bouley Bay myself. Would really like to have a Flavum form of a hybrid but I feel too unsure of the small size seedling that I would be willing to spring for. I had a flavum 'Icho Tower' and killed it,ONLY had to pay $50 for a two inch seedling. I don't want to waste money like that again. I'd like to have my 'Mont Millias' back that the tornado carried off too.

I hear ya, I'd like a hundred more myself! Ginnibug

My Calurum has continued putting out new growths. Any one any idea on when it is supposed a spike should be forming? Thank you.

My Calurum has put out some new shoots as well but it really needs to be repotted. I mean REALLY needs it!!!
Got my kovachii cross and it looks great. And I got a 4n Fliquet as well.Might get a division of a Bouley Bay from a fellow society member, YEAH!! That thing looks to be a monster in size. Ginnibug
