Neo loses

[Leafmite]

I have three falcuta but, once, I had four. The benisuzume just really didn't like me. Right away, it just started to die. I did manage to keep it going for a few more months but then it...succumbed.
The others have always been grown in net pots and red lava rock as I love seeing the roots crawl all over the rock and out of the basket.

straight lava rock? How big is the pot?
Do you grow indoor?
If so, how often do you water now?
curious.

I overwinter mine in a lightly heated greenhouse. The heater kicks on at 40-45F. I water once a week or so in the winter during warm days.

I think that temp range is about perfect!

I'll try to take some pictures for you today as pictures are better than explaining. They go outside during the summer and I water every other day by soaking them for a few minutes in a bucket of water I have on the porch.

What sort of light do you put them in outside, Leafmite? We're in the same grow zone, but I think it might be slightly less humid here in the summers, since I don't see a rain cloud between about now and late September.

I give them very bright shade with some direct morning sun. We usually have good humidity during the summer but we had a very hot, dry summer in 2012. I had to soak all my Vanda-type orchids in a bucket for a few minutes, twice a day, to keep the roots happy. The rock really seems to help with humidity.
