Back after a 4 year hiatus!
So, I used to be on this board occasionally about 4 years ago. But then I had my second child and left got, well, hectic. In that time I also got a bacterial infection that ransacked my entire collection in a matter of days! It was terrible, and since then I hadn't gotten any new plants. Then my daughter picked out a phal for me from the grocery store for Valentines... still I resisted, just kept the one plant.. then mothers day happened... and my grandmother bought me 2 phals... and well, I hit up the big box store and rescued some clearance phals... (5 or 6? haha) and now its all over... IM BACK.

Welcome back. Sounds like you're making up for lost time Have to watch for the creepy crawleys for sure. Some use insecticidal soap to keep them at bay. Good luch
