Nice double spike!

 

[SlipperKing]

Nicely bloomed. Did you keep it on the cold side during pre-spiking?

No. I never keep this cold, the temp never drops below 13c.

Is that 150 dollars or cents?? I bought this plant with 4 growths from In Charm
last June for £25 --- ???

Dollars, well it was sold as specimen size, it has 4 little tufts of growths making it 10 growths, which for an unawarded esquirolei full of bugs and no roots to me is unacceptable, he did say I can return it, I already took it all apart getting the bugs and dead roots out, too late, last year a good friend of mine sold a 20 growth esquirolei in bloom for 80.00 I should have bought his, we live and learn, that overpriced grower is running his business in the ground!!

The easiest way to get rid of all bugs and 100% guaranteed is to soak the plant for an our or two in a diluted solution of household bleach. In two gallons I use a quarter of a cupfull ---- never had a problem with this method affecting the plants but it certainly gets rid of All bugs.

I unpotted it and used hydrogen peroxide on roots
