Hi, my newt was never sick. I lost one because he got bored and left, escaped and who knows what he is doing now. His wife stayed behind. Or maybe she kicked him out?

My bathroom has a huge south facing bay window with puckered glass (it's wavy so that you can't see through it - good b/c the bathtub is underneath it ). Right now, my masdevallias and draculas are blooming/growing there. I figured with all of the blooming and growing of it's fellows nearby, it might be good enough to encourage growth until the hot season passes and it can return to the shady portion of my greenhouse as our rainy season begins in late September, early October. Do you think it needs more light?? Thanks for the input and questions.
I have been watching it and one of the leaves dried all the way down the stem. I have seen no new growth, yet (might be a bit premature to see growth within a couple of days, but I am an optimist ). I gave it a soaking in RO (no fertilizer) to try and leach the salts out.

and here I was thinking it would be ideal for watching the passing parade as you lay in the tub soaping yourself all over! My plant forms keikis in the leaf axil where the flower spike arises. It forms more keikis than flowers.

I'm jealous...I'd love a keiki! I hope mine survives! I honestly hate getting a species and then, unceremoniously, killing it with plant habitats disappearing everyday. All of the brown tipped leaves are passing their "brownness" down through the stems. There will be very few leaves left, at this rate.
