Thanks, Dorothy...

I also just read that pouring water with a bit of dish soap through the media will kill the larvae... Anyone have any experience with this?

YAY! I'm so excited that others are trying this too! I was advised to not use fertilizer as it would foul the water quicker but I'm still toying with the idea of putting in a few drops... I'm going...

Thanks, Gin. I've been doing some more reading and it seems kind of 'luck of the draw' unless your conditions are ideal. It seems like a fun experiment so I'm going to carry through with it just to...

Good morning all,

You know, I have no idea if they need to be taken indoors in Florida because I have no idea what the average temperature is there :) This is because I live in Canada where I wouldn't even DREAM of...

I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure yellow leaves can be a result of overwatering. How often do you water? Also, what kind of orchids are these?
I also think fertilizing once a week is a bit...
