Sorry for the little typo there! And I meant to say, it's a shame they're apparently not often awarded, when they're perfect for a (novice) grower like me. It hasn't stopped me from getting them, of...

They sound like the older, dead leaves which will naturally yellow and die off. If you haven't already, you can remove them. It's also common for the bottom most leaf, even if it's healthy, to start...

Thank you for the comments. The leaves on "Nobby" have been trimmed - fortunately, the worst damaged one was the oldest, so it came completely off. Hopefully she'll recover enough to put out some new...

I was concerned the pot the Nobby was in was too big, but that's the same one in came in, just different/new media. I will see about potting it smaller since I did have to trim roots. You bring up a...

AMAZING. Good job, what healthy little babies! I've seen offers for flasks but I haven't read enough about the whole process. Maybe I should get started, could make for a nice project over the winter!
