You know, I was just trying to think of HOW water would have gotten in the new growth. I'm usually pretty careful with watering, because I lost a phal due to crown rot. I do mist this orchid. ...

Thanks. I'll change to adding fertilizer and growth hormone each time, then. Would you cut off the new growth, or maybe just let it fall off? It seems like it's falling off naturally with time. ...

Hi, I have a follow-up on my water culture. It started up 3-4 new roots that are green (I'm guessing because they are exposed to light they are photosynthesizing?). This happened within the first...

phal watering & fertilizer

Hi all,
