I have no problem whatsoever in growing phalaenopsis but some of the terrestrials have given me fits. I lost perhaps a dozen Spathoglottis plicata (white and purple) during the winter and thought I had lost over a dozen Sarcoglottis sceptrodes as well. All that was left in the pots of the sceptrodes were mounds of roots with lots of rotted leaves. But since the roots seemed to still be firm, I held onto them. Most of those came back in the spring and now have become lovely, though still small plants (approximately 10" across). I have to bring them into a GH for the fall/winter months. Perhaps someone who grows them successfully can tell me the tricks to keep them growing during those GH months. Also, I have never had one bloom. What size/age do they have to be to produce those little "Green Dragon" flowers?

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
