I have had 5 Tolumnia's and killed them all...never had trouble with bugs..so I'm guessing it's operator error , on my part...they are the cutest little plants with adorable dancing lady like flowers. Ken, the plant kind of looks like a very small air plant.
Tara...gorgeous colors on your 'Sogo'
JMorth...I was given a mixed planter with a Phalenopsis..and 2 tropical plants , all planted in sphagnum in a non draining planter...it was VERY pretty and I ended up watering it once a month. .. that was back in September...and it's still in bloom. Since you have so many fabulous buds on the way with your pretty plant..I might wait to repot it into more suitable mix..they sell a decent one at Lowes or HD along with a clay orchid pot that has the slits on the sides. When it has finished flowering..you can pick out the sphagnum and it's easier to do when it's wet..or use a hose sprayer set on JET...and flush the moss out. How thoughtful of your wife to give you such a pretty gift!
