Food containers and new flower buds!

The other things I like about using food containers was the square shape and being able to buy in volume [made the price go down].
They seem to like it too. I have new flower buds popping up!

Cool air humidifier

Ah thank you. I was wondering what was the difference between a warm air and cool air humidifier.
That's something to look for when I get to go down to the city.

Has anyone used a produce bag to repot?

Someone mentioned using the produce bags that onions or other vegetables come in instead of the net pots.
How has that worked out for people. Would you recommend it for Phals?
