Good stuff Paphioboy:clap::clap:
What ever happened to the reticulatum? Ed M has one that was growing vvveerrryyy slow. I read that they normally grow on limestone so he took a shallow broad pot (tray) added limestone gravel then moss then oyster shell. I think he added some bone meal too. Apparently the plant is really taking off now, and new leaves are much bigger than the old ones. He thinks its getting ready to bloom too.

Rick, I ended potting up the reticulatum. But when I repotted the other day, I don't see many roots and its growing pretty slowly too.. Hmm.. likes limestone, you say? I think I'll throw in a handful of limestone and see what happens. Thanks..
