Paphraguy January 4th, 2007, 10:10 PM George, you have wings! :Grin: That was exactly what I had noticed when I first saw the photo. Nynaeve January 5th, 2007, 08:00 AM :Grin: That was exactly what I had noticed when I first saw the photo. I was thinking "Dumbo" likespaphs January 5th, 2007, 02:52 PM culture is easy for me. water when needed to keep moist but not wet, actually, a little drier than moist. give not too bright light. they also hate fertilizer so i give them the same dosage i do the orchids (somewhere between 100 and 125 ppm of nitrogen) sparingly.... Nynaeve January 5th, 2007, 03:42 PM What about light? Can it be grown indoors? likespaphs January 6th, 2007, 07:27 AM i grow mine indoors...well, in a greenhouse. i think they'll do okay with lower light, but i'm not sure... i think they favor humidity Nynaeve January 6th, 2007, 09:41 AM i grow mine indoors...well, in a greenhouse. i think they'll do okay with lower light, but i'm not sure... i think they favor humidity Well I was thinking for my indoor atrium which is like a greenhouse. It has enough light for me to bloom a vanda. But I don't know...the big dumbo ears might take over the whole thing. likespaphs January 6th, 2007, 11:47 AM that might be too much light... but then again, maybe not.

Nynaeve January 9th, 2007, 08:06 AM Boy Teresa, you sure know how to make a guy feel good... Hey what's wrong with Dumbo? He was cool...he could fly!:Yuck: |
