Smile heating mats

Check your local Lowe's or Home Depot in the seed departments. They sell them for starting seeds. We use one for starting our tomatoes in the house.

Should Howeara dry between waterings?

I have a new Howeara and am wondering about the water requirements. Should it dry out between waterings or should I treat it like my phals? It's in a bark mixture in my living room.

Unhappy Empty pods on cattleya

What would be the cause of having empty pods on my Cattleya? They seem to turn brown and whither away. What do I need to do so that this doesn't happen next time?
