    I dig this thing. If anyone wants to tell me how to keep the leaves from turning yellow and spotty, I'm open to suggestions...

    Mine are coming into bloom as well. Maybe epsom salts to green it up?

    Jon, I spray my Phal. species collection three or four times a year with Cleary's just
    enough to make sure the mount and roots get a little shot. Since I began the practice,
    I haven't had a single new spotted, yellow leaf.

    You could also try a foliar application of seaweed fertilizer. Could also be caused by to much light.

    Thanks everyone. Sounds like light and potassium.

    That's very neat. We might need to get one! Can you tell me the source?

    Oh well. Thanks anyway. Just have to keep our eyes out, I guess. Google didn't turn up anything. (But it's got nifty Dr. Suess letters today!)

    Maybe I'll pollinate it and see if any babies show up in the GH. I've had a few bulbo capsules open over the past few days...

    Dowery Orchids is an excellent source for Phal. species.

    I'll second that comment. Dowery is a very good vendor.
