Masd. keeping them alive but just
With the New Year I am trying to decide what I can grow and not. My Masd. pose a problem. they are alive and continue to put up new growth but these ultimately fade. I have not seen a flower and would not recognize a "spike." I have noticed how fussy they are to getting gentle breezes all the time. They are all repotted into a primary chopped sphagnum plus tree fern fibers and some charcoal. I have not looked at the roots since repotting. They are under light being 3 T5 2 ft bulbs about 20 inches above. They sit on an humidity tray and the apartment is pretty successfully at 35-40% humidity with a central humidifier.
I'll try these a while longer (actually the challenge will keep them with me longer than that.)
Oh, they are watered when crispy on the surface with either distilled water or the same with an orchid fertilizer (currently Dynagro Bloom until the first of the year thereafter straight DynaGro for Orchids until I can get MSU for distilled water.)
Any comments more than appreciated. Thanks all and a Happy New Year.
Nick
