How is this plant doing? I have killed more Miltoniopsis orchids than I care to admit and would love to try again in S/H. I'm curious to see if she's started any new growth since you cut the spike.

My first thought was a nutrient issue, but you're using MSU, which is a good fertilizer, so maybe not. Do you fertilize weakly weekly?

Thanks for the link/information, Ray. I had a 50% spike rate with my phals this year, which was disappointing. I will make a point this year to focus on average temperature range instead of just a...
