Oh thanks so much; following the Board has been another treat everyone does fine growing. So far my Neo has done well I keep re-reading culture pages to make sure it continues to thrive.

Question for everyone:

Do you wait to water when the spag is crunchy dry or keep it slightly moist?

Hi Ginger,
I had missed this thread! You have a real beauty of a plant!
I tend to let my sphag become crunchy before watering as I noticed that in my conditions the roots grow better that way. Neos are very tolerant and not as fussy as other orchids.
Look forward to following how you do with her.

Thanks so much, yes she is so beautiful & I will follow your advice regarding the watering.

I have really gotten hooked on Neos as I am sitting in eBay every night I've won 5 small Neos from Japanese orchids and 3 pots from Greeny Pottery. This is getting crazy....tell me I am not alone with this budding obsession.

Smile, that bidding gets crazy toward the last few minutes before it ends I am totally ignoring my budget and get really irritated when the bigger spender wins anyway
