I'd cut the mother cane off as high above the brown and soft area as you can -- to within an inch or so of the keiki. You can then try to sphag & bag that segment; I've had a lot of good luck with...

I grown tolumnia exclusively indoors in western Pennsylvania (every time I put them outside, they get scale and die!). I've got 250W MH lights in an orchid case, and that seems to do them well as...

I used to breed leopard geckos, and used sphagnum "nest" areas for them to lay in. Those are definitely some sort of lizard egg (haven't seen anole eggs, but that seems likely, given your area). ...

lily99,

You've gotten a lot of good advice so far! I wouldn't worry about tolumnia being "difficult." They were one of the first orchids I ever grew, and I've never had much trouble with them. ...
