Thanks Tiffany and Elaine. Tiffany, I use 1/3 Orchid mix, 1/3 Miracle Gro Potting Mix and 1/3 Pine Fines (finely shredded pine mulch). I toss in some coarse perlite as well. When temps. are 70 and below, It really doesn't need that much water. It will take maybe 1/2 gallon every other week. In the Summer, when temps above 85, it will go through 5 gallons every 4-5 days. In the Winter it likes the moisture level between Semi moist and dry.
