Brassavola nodosa in S/H
I received this plant as a gift in December of 2011. It only had two flowers. When it was finished blooming and the plant started to grow, I transplanted into S/H On January 13, 2012,with a heat pad for a while. It has grown very well and is blooming nicely. The plant is kept in my grow room which has about 70% humidity, 80-85 F daytime temp in summer, now getting cooler. Under my conditions the plant seems happy.

Wow, looking really good.
I have this one mounted, it's a tiny plant compared to yours with just a handful of leaves maybe I should try in in S/H  |

What do you look for on Amazon? Heat pad for plants or heat pad for muscle injury etc?
Thanks

I buy my root heating pads at hydroponics shop or a nearby garden shop. A little over $20 for Super Sprouter Seedling Heat Mat 10" x 21".

Look for a seedling heat mat. They are waterproof.
According to the label, the Hydrofarm brand ones are the only ones UL-approved, whatever that may be worth. |
