So now you have $28.00 to spend on other orchids.

Was planning on trying to grow her outside, but considering the small size, worried about frisky squirrels or even a bird poop damaging her.

Potted with red lava rocks at the bottom and chunky bark mix on top.

My coerulea...

And by the way, there's some flexibility to grow this species... as per epiphyte78's pool gallery... (also attached)

And that's what I did.... I went to a nursery to get my mom and my aunt a plant for Mother's Day. Since caring for orchids is new to me, I am all excited so even though I paid 7.00 bucks for the project at Home Depot. I bought three more orchids at the nursery then of course, I need three planters, then three hangers. Lol... To make matters worse, Friday there is a big orchid show in south Miami that I am going to. I can see how people can easily accumulate so many orchids. They are so beautiful and unique.

Yazz, where did you get your C. walkeriana? Just curious. :)

Received my project plant, a coerulea... bit small yet, so we'll see how far it gets over the summer. Not sure yet how I'll pot it up... sphag in clay seems like it might be tricky for me.

Show of hands:
Who's growing under lights, who's on the windowsill with no supplemental light, who's outdoors and who's in a greenhouse?

Mine will be under lights for the time being, but may transition to the gh if it looks like it'll be happier there.

Sunroom, which is much more humid than the house. Like a greenhouse with only one glass wall and a solid roof.

Laundry room, in front of glass sliding doors on a North window with added light. I have cement floors so I can spill water freely :)

Outdoors until I can't be.
