I am so sorry. . .Curses!
I can see how EASY that would be to do. I've already had several close calls!

Do you fertilize every single watering?
I've been cutting back to about a fourth of what you're using and using more plain RO water.

Every single watering (every other day) and I quit dunking since the fungus gnats got to me. I now soak with a hand sprayer. Same mix. 125ppm MSU mix with 2 drops per gallon KLN. The only plants not getting this regimen are the Dracs, the sundews, the Butterworts, and the Fly Traps. Everybody else gets dosed with good food and maybe a dose of Physan 20 if I feel like it needs it.

Here's my little guy. It presented it's flowers in a much more orderly manner this year and I have 3 more flowers this year than last. It got repotted 04/08 into the vanda basket. It looks a lot happier out of the thumb pot.

Very, very nice Terri. You should be proud, both of the success and the presentation. Nice flowers.

Speaking local OS meetings....I took mine to my local OS meeting last month and I won a first place ribbon out of all the beauties everyone brought in to share! I was so flattered and excited!
Mine has also been in bloom since mid to late August and is still in bloom. I also have a new leaf starting as well as a new root!

Congratulations Becca! How fun for you! I don't think our OS does ribbons, it's too small.
