3 Spikes Bloomed

[Tone]

Since my wife and I live in a house with no kids and no visitors and the cats don't seem to give a hoot, i wanted to a pic of my near-fully bloomed little friend's success story, 14 blooms, 3 buds.

It was my wife's present from co-workers when she left her job 2 years ago, unfortunately she took care of it in the tiny pot it came in and watered it with 3 ice cubes per week...so you could imagine how it looked.

I took over last September, took it out of the tiny pot and took an hour removing the roots from an inner plastic cup it was all grown through, repotted with much larger pot and well draining bark.

Up until it bloomed, i did a full soak and drain weekly, but i still give it a little water every other day since the bark drains so well. 2-3 times per week i gently wipe down the leaves with a wet microfiber towel (bought for this, no detergent). It sure paid off!
