Little white bugs, not very fuzzy, look like rice.

Ahhh! :yikes:

I came back from being out of town for a week, and found my orchids infested with insects! Noo! Worst of all, they especially seem to love my healthy little guy!

They're white,...

Mesophyll cell collapse or fungus or what?

Hey! I have a question about an orchid that I got a while ago. It was like this when I got it, and the marks don't seem to have changed or grown.

I'd like to put it on the heat mat with the...

There's a fair amount of relief mixed in with the excitement already! I had previously re-potted two other orchids, and they both went downhill afterwards. One of them is nearly rootless now, and the...

I repotted this fellow a little over a week ago, and he's putting out a new leaf!

I would trust repotme not to sell something too old. If you just bought it I'm sure it's fine. I think Ray was asking to make sure it wasn't something that had been open for a year or more and left...

Haha, I like the Starbucks cups. I'm going to punch out a hole in the box for "custom" and scrawl the name of the plant on the cup in sharpie.

Or, for true Starbucks realism, I might scrawl out...

I have an Phal that was down to one root, and it got a K-L-N soak (~40 minutes) two weeks ago. About a week ago, I noticed a bump, and gave it another long soak (~ 2 hours) and now the bump has...

Fleece! I like it!

I also like the tip about using the sink so that you can clean the p-trap. Not that I know what a p-trap is... but I'll google it. ;)

Rinsing LECA... safe for bathtub drain?

I know you're supposed to rinse LECA before you use it, to remove dust from shipping.

How much light can you give? I think one reason Phals are considered "easy" is because they don't require as much sunlight as some of the other orchids.

Do you have a southern window, a skylight,...
