Talking Pink NOID phal

Hi all, I have pictures of last year Pink NOID Phal that I obtained from Lowe's. I grew them in styrofoam peanut with an addition of sphagnum moss to retain moisture. I take credit for the flower because it flowered after several month of keeping it so....there . I ended up giving it to a closed friend for his B-day present. Pictures taken by me, camera: mug from another friend

That's me in the back ground

That is beautiful blackorchid!

Packing peanuts and sphag moss ei? never thought of that, what's the ratio ?
I ask beacause I am having a bit of trouble with a phal that refuses to grow into any media mix, bark, LECA, moss...

Priz

PS, yes the credit for the blooms is all yours

lol I fancied sphagnum moss for a while but it stayed too wet in my condition, therefore, I added styrofoam peanut in to help dry it off some what. Note that when I grew that orchid, I didn't have fan so the air is pretty much stagnant. With that method, I watered around once every 3 days in the summer, and once a week in the winter. It was one part sphagnum and one part peanut (slightly less moss). With clear plastic pot, I can tell just when I need to water.

Thank you blackorchid, your potting mix is certainly showing results!

Just be careful. Some folks like, Dorothy, are quick to jump on the "pink thing" They suggest all sorts of weird things. Check it out http://www.orchidboard.com/community...enisuzume.html I mean, can't a person like pink flowers? That's all I ask
