My compliments for reblooming these pansies, who are not doing well in most collections. Plants look heathy all the way till the tip of leaves.

Absolutely gorgeous- I do love the pansies, but sadly they can't grow here. So thanks for sharing yours!

Thanks for your compliments, everyone!

To answer your questions, I'm unsure what clones any of these are, unfortunately. I did try to identify some but it seems like Miltoniopsis hybrids are as difficult as phals in this regard!

I do still allow them to dry out almost completely between waterings, but because of the nature of the medium the drying process takes a lot longer. At a guess, I'd say I water about every 2 weeks. I did try to ensure that there were plenty of air gaps remaining between the individual cubes of wool, without packing the medium down too much - I suspect it would be too smotheringly damp if I had done so.

I hadn't actually considered health risks of rockwool - perhaps I should have done! I haven't found that it is released into the atmosphere much during repotting, though, unlike the dusty perlite which I can be a little leery of.

Update: Milt #3 has opened its blooms! Only 3 on this spike, but I noticed a sneaky second spike started from another bulb too
