    Mine gets it w/o trying...the fireplace doesn't reach that far. My dendrobs don't seem to need the temp drop...they want sun in the winter.

    sledgehammer....I like your style. ...and I do have a hammer for every size job.
    but sorry. As they say..."Been there, done that". I cut an 8 X 25 travel trailer out of here. And another that got built into a shed. You should see the pile of bright polished aluminum [aluminium for some] I have from the sheathing. Got all kinds of ideas for it. From reflectors to some almighty splashbacks and range hood in the kitchen.

    I haven't tried a cym for a long time...30+yrs. I haven't got any advice or help with 'em. It suffered a long lingering death.

    regards,
    Azoned

    what kind of nutes do you use?

    Nothin flash...MG Liquid Houseplant Food at 20 drops/gal, every watering. Mist the foliage, too. Same mix. Was recommended by a grower in HI. According to her,"Most orchid food has to much N, this is more balanced."

    There was a care and maintenence guide for Orchids in a just passed issue of Fine Gardening. I'm sure I can get permission to reprint it if anyone wants it. I learned a few things. Like the temp differencial. (sp?) should be like 15-20 degrees . I forgot most of those tips cause I have NO memory any more.
    But I do rem the name of the mag...LOL

    ok.... so the phal is definitely fading......

    would this be a good time to stick it outside for the temperature differencial? maybe try for a late spring spike? nighttime lows are above-freezing now.

    Hi Kitty,
    I dunno. I've never tried for a 2nd....Mine takes all winter to set bloom and when it fades, it's too warm [inside or out] to trigger it again.

    flower 2 of 6 just fell today. nighttime lows for the next 2 weeks are in the 37-45f range. i think she's getting some fresh bark and going outside.

    We should try to get an orchids only section added to rui. Orchids are amazing flowers, they take skill to grow, and they keep you working just like marijuana. Whos with me?
