Sheridan - they can live just fine crowded like that. I dunk mine for a few minutes. I did take the Hausermann's plants out of their pots and placed them in a net pot with large chunks of charcoal to stablize the plant. They seem to like daily dunkings then totally dry by night. Hope this helps.

Ross Thanks for the tip. I have some small basket type pots coming from Ray's so its ok to repot them in a larger pot not to large maybe 3" ? Its strange my Tolumnia Genting Pink Lady has three different color flowers. Some of pink and dark pink and one flower is yellow and another is white all on the same spike

Thanks again
Sheridan

I wouldn't slap you....I'd be right there with you! If Ross comes to get you, would you guys swing by and get me, too?!?!

Sorry about your catt and I am glad you seem to have it squared away. Thus far, I have been super fortunate that the vendors I deal with have sent overall healthy plants....unfortunately, they don't always stay that way once they have lived with me....

I got in on this late (as usual ) just because the bark looks good be sure to dig a little deeper , I got one a couple of years ago from them that had new on top and mush underneath . Gin
