I bought from him. He's very helpful, answered all my questions; the plant I got was very healthy, great roots. I'm very happy with him. I think there is a thread in Vendor Feedback section where you can find more reviews of this vendor.

awesome, thats all i really needed.

Help, stay away from my orchid. LOL I deal with him alot and was also eyeing this one.

Buying one already in double spike just feels like cheating... But I may have to bid against you as all his plants I've bought have been fantastic.

[Lana]

Guys, come on! You'll bump the price so high, neither one of you will want it!
Why don't you contact the vendor and see if he has more, this way, one of you gets this one, and another one will bid on the plant next week.
Uhm, that is if nobody else decides to bid!

[Call_Me_Bob]

Oh no you don't!!! I saw it first! If it makes you feel better, I'll cut the spikes ( actually I don't think I could get myself to do that ) bud I call dibs! I may email him tomorrow and see if he has more and see if he has any maybe not in spike, maybe cheaper then.

I've been watching that 'chid since Monday. And so, apparently, has half of the other people participating in the project. There goes that idea!

Haha we will end up bumping the price way up. I'll definitely email him tomorrow.

I actually tried to email him yesterday morning to ask if he had any blooming catts or paphs and he still hasn't replied. It'd be nice if he had more though--the roots on that one look fabulous!

Ordered mine along with 5 cats and a king from Oakhill. First time buying from these guy, so I hope I'm not disipointed!!!

I bought a gasro. somae from Andy to compare the two.

As far as so cal dry weather..... I have switched to watering at about 5 pm daily on most and two mist for 1 min. during the day on all outside. My humidity has starter to drop down to around 35-40 last couple of days. If you wanted to grow it inside you could put put in a bright window with a humidity tray or fogger. I use a small aquarium air pump with air stones in my terrarium to raise the humidity instead of misting so much.
