I have a similar one in my garage — .75 gal I think. It’s a pain only because you have to pump it pretty often. I’m thinking the dunking might be better than pumping enough to water each plant for...

Estación seca, is there a particular make or model of sprayer that works well? How long can such sprayers spray on a single water filling? Not sure how much less RO water it would waste than my...

I’ve been to one of the open houses — think it was the spring open house this year. I don’t know if my self-restraint is sufficiently developed to resist the temptations right now, but I may well go!

Yep. I’m proceeding by trial and error, not sure how I’m doing so far, but not discouraged yet. Lots of root growth and a few new leaves; a Laelia anceps is working on 2 long flower spikes. Will try...

Thank you!

I know that dunking in a communal bucket is risky. But it’s the easiest way for me to water with RO right now, so I’m taking the risk. All my plants come from the same (reputable)...

Thank you Roberta. I’m so glad to know that it’s doing well enough and that I’ve not messed it up yet. I’m happy to defer to your idea that the pinkish leaf is old, not new — makes total sense,...

How does my L. Bicolor look so far? I’ve had it 7-10 days. Just wanting to make sure I’m doing right by it so far in terms of light (too much?) and water (right now watering every 2 days). It’s...
