Hello All, Wanted to post an update on my dowiana as well. Here is a picture from a few years ago that shows what is first looked like, about 2.5 years ago (before the entire tank became an absolute mess) 🙃 And here's what it looks like now 😂 The roots have gone absolutely bananas, but it...

I'm not an AOS member, but I will look into that! Thank you! Thats all great to hear. I have not ventured much into the orchid community, but would like to be more involved and learn more from experienced growers.

I did, honestly when I repotted it, it was just how the roots fit. Fortunately the new growth popped up on the side with he most space! What do you make of the new root growing towards the old growth? Do you think that it might try burrowing through it?

Thanks! I will tinker with the light levels! The potting mix I got from RePotMe is their Paphiopedilum mix. In the future I will definitely do my own research regarding making my own media blend. Thanks for the great insight/info!

Noted! I will make sure to have adequate ventilation!! Thank your for sharing your experiences with grow tanks!!

Good to know! Sometimes I can just be a huge worry wart!
