New Zealand tree fern fiber? (Xaxim)

I use a catalytic carbon filter in my RO system and also one for our drinking water. Catalytic carbon filters are said to remove 99.9% of chloramine.

We have a saying in our household. “Free” doesn’t mean “Cheap.”

How wet, or dry, were the plants when they were left out all night?

Indeed! What are you doing, Phred?

Is the Mexi potted in solid LECA? Does Kim let the Mexi sit in a saucer of water? Also, I’m curious to know the name of its cultivar. Thanks~

Lovely! When does one repot an orchid that can bloom for over a year on end?

Thank you. So the C. violacea is in a coarse bark, yet covered by a seedling size bark mix. My seedling bark is 3mm to 6 mm, and coarse is 12 - 18 mm.

In another thread you mentioned a 1-1-1 combination of seedling bark, seramis, and pumice. Do you use that combination for C. violacea also?

Have you asked Marilyn for her opinion?

Thanks, Tom. This is helpful information.

Hilo Orchid Farm

Yes! It’s quite happy in my window sill.:)

So even though this is its first-time blooming, the differences are too great to say it could have MM as a parent? In any event, it’s the first roth I’ve ever tried blooming, so I’m happy. There are three additional growths, too.

First bloom; #65 x Mont Millais

‘Josie Girl’

So Hilo would have had to receive MM pollen from one of 3 sources, then.

Since the topic here is roths, is anyone familiar with the sib cross ‘#65‘ x Mont Millais? I have one in spike now, which came from Hilo.

If it were mine, I’d give it a good 3 months or so without any water tray whatsoever, in order to let the roots strengthen on their own. Transplanting can be a shock.

Welcome, Huang. Fantastic!
