I repotted all my plants I got from SVO. That spag in the center of the plant keeps them very moist, just so you know. I think it would be easy to over water with that spag. I took all that out and have them all in chunky bark.

Yay! I'll put my order in right away :)

I haven't had any problem with it. Around 2 or more years ago (I will have to look back) I got 12 Catt crosses from him and I haven't lost one. I know Lotis got some and I think said she had lost several. We are both chronic under waterers. I have since re-potted all but one and need to do it. After I re-potted them I was not watering enough at all, they were shriveling the bulbs and so I had to up it and they are doing much better now. I also put mine in bark mix. It is so dry here I have to be careful.

I pulled all the spagh out when I potted them as well. I also started putting packing peanuts in the middle as I was afraid I would over water and was drilling holes in the clay pots. I had to stop that as I had to soak those every day for awhile. I know that sounds odd but it really is helping them out and they are growing roots like crazy. I think the seaweed is helping with that.

I tend to over water, so that spag is dangerous for me :) I have holes all around my plastic pots that I use for catts. In clay pots peanuts are ok but in a plastic pot they get hot in the sun and can burn roots so I've found.

I tend to throw all my orchids in one boat... Sink or swim, your getting watered once a week, which is right around perfect for my apartment. (except of course my mounted wittigiana, it gets every day :)

Ok I ordered Lc. Miss Wonderful (Lc. Mari's Song 'CTM 217' HCC/AOS x L. anceps 'Rustic Royalty' HCC/AOS).

I saw that Tim got all 3 Miss Wonderfuls - which ones did everyone else get? Just wondering how many of each L. anceps parent we have going in this project :)
