Hey if it's growing it will probably be blooming soon! I wouldn't reduce the humidity as long as it's happy. This one never showed any sign of rotting, and enjoyed the wet air. I kept it tightly...

Oh- I meant the chopped stuff. I put it in some when I got it, but then cleared it all away from the crown just leaving a bare spot of epiweb it was on. You couldn't see it in my pictures because...

Glad it came through ok for you. Mine started out like that and didn't do anything at all for a couple months until I cleared away the sphagnum from the crown area and put it in the covered bowl for...

Susanne, if you are cutting them live and keeping them wet I would dry them out first, only because having the juices in them without a chance to dry out could encourage molds.

If the bottoms are...

I can picture this on a mossy branch right up front in the viv I'm planning. I just read that it can be warm growing. Very cool!

I wouldn't say the flowers last a very long time, but since this one re-bloomed almost immediately, I had flowers for probably 6-8 weeks.

The only thing I can think of I do very differently is...

LOL Sandy... I was most surprised that ANYTHING was stilll alive. This one is already sending out new growth, like it had just gone into suspended animation for months and wasn't harmed at all.

Hi There- like Golden said, this one likes warmer temperatures. It also enjoys lower light. This one was in the house with Summer temperatures 70-90 F., and off to the side of fluorescent light...

Conny, I would use them. They have a high color rendition score, so the plants should look more natural.

The orchids that do well under lights here haven't been overly picky - I've even used...

Hi Marissa;

One great thing about growing under lights is that the tags are still readable years later... but the grower didn't put their name on this one.

Bulbophyllum rufilabrum

A fun little plant, and a tough survivor. This is another one that survived months of neglect in a dark dry apartment while I thought it was being cared for. I lost at least 80% of my plants to...

Schoenorchis fragrans

Another favorite miniature species. This one bloomed twice last year, a month or two apart. Two spikes the second time. It survived absolute neglect in a dark dry place for several months with a...

Lepanthes telipogoniflora

This is a memorial post - the plant was left with a plantsitter for several months and unfortunately died. Ironically it was my lowest-care orchid by far. All I did was leave it off to the side of...
