Trimmed back my Peperomia obtusifolia. There were three plants in the pot (one is difficult to see, it's hiding behind the other two). I hope it'll make it bush out a little bit. nodding

Tarev, you and your beautiful floriferous hoya are making me want one. I'd love a plant that blooms constantly. Drooling

Angela, did anyone tell you what your beautiful cactus is? If not, it's Easter Cactus (Hatiora gaertneri)
I agree it's a keeper.

Thanks Ken! After seeing Tarev's pictures I checked the roots and they were rotting so I changed the water and just left the sponge material damp the smell was pretty bad.

That indeed looks promising Angela! Is your container with drainage holes?? I hope it has bottom and side holes. Also, if you really have to use moss, try to thin it out a bit, to allow more air circulation at the root zone. We all have our preferences with the orchid media to use, so whichever ones we use, good air circulation at the root zone, next to watering as needed. Smiling

Ken It looks like a sponge material I was using and I'm not sure what type of orchid it is Since I see new growth I think all isn't lost yet Whistling but after seeing those pics i'm changing to something similar to your set up tarev Big Grin I want to see those are they roots hanging around?

Yes, Phals love making aerial roots, so either it will create roots growing above the media, or sometimes, some roots find the side holes and they escape that way. I just let them go..they like it that way. Just got to be careful when I water at the sink, so I don't break them needlessly. Smiling

Angela, do you have a small fan, something that can at least furnish a little air-movement around the plants?
