I have found that a reddish hue can sometimes be relative. A plant that is not getting enough light may show the reddish hue when given increased light. Mind you that it still may not be enough light...

For mealies on flowers I also use Safer Soap insecticidal spray. My technique is to spray all of the flowers, wait about 3-4 minutes, then with another spray bottle of plain water (set on stream)...

Very, very nice! I have one, but the last 2 leads had the buds blast during the winter indoors. Maybe I'll have better luck with the next ones.

I bought one of these last week too. I couldn't resist it. I thought that I detected a mild scent just now but when I tried again there didn't seem to be any. Maybe I sucked it all up on the first...

They look blasted to me. It's hard to say exactly what happened and why. It could be as simple as the plant in it's present condition just can't support flowers yet. Or, it could have been chilled,...

I agree with Steve. You will probably have a large enough main plant to divide before the smaller backbulbs are large enough to bloom---if you can save it. Besides, most orchids are not that...

Marilyn,
You've inspired me with your set-up. If I can get up the energy, I'll complete my new 4 X 8 table and make the top waterproof and with a drain so that I can water my plants in place. It...

I have LC. Gold Digger 'buttercup' and 'orchid jungle'. Both get sheaths that brown and dry up and look terrible. Eventually they send up buds through those ugly sheaths and bloom beautifully, so...

A 9 inch (9") North window is about worthless. If you mean 9ft X 8 1/2ft north, that is better, but not much. Cyms & Dens require a good bit of light which you won't get from the North. In my...

This is the first time this plant is blooming for me and I am surprised. I bought this plant in August, in sheath, but the new growths were about 1/2 the size of the older PB's. Slowly the sheaths...

In my opinion:

1. Misting under benches with tap water is OK. As it evaporates it will cool the air.

2. Your misting should raise the humidity and the tap water is fine once again. Don't...

Just another minor point for clay pots is the additional weight. This can be an advantage over plastic when you have a top heavy plant.
