Be very observant with the moss....if it is dry its time to water. If it discolors darkly and smells moldy, you need to repot. My fertilizer leaves a residue on the leaves that it alters its smooth texture ...oh well, Id rather feed it than beautify it....[COLOR="Silver"]

Yeah - I got one last year, started to look dehydrated after a few months, so I've upped the watering a bit. I potted it into small bark mix, as that's how it was potted when I got it, so I figured it was happy that way ... think I may change it to sphag tho ... At least I haven't killed it yet - got it a little over a year ago.
Do you let yours approach dry? I have read to let these dry in-between waterings, but, since I use skewers - if I am told 'dry', I let it get BONE dry, and it's occurred to me, that in some cases 'dry' may just barely moist ...
I'm with you - I'd rather have blooms than pristine foliage but no blooms

For those looking for one, without breaking the bank, and are just looking for the standard variety - Last summer at a show, I saw Andy's had some very nice ones for around $25 I think ? That was last summer, but never hurts to check with them ..
