Hey, y'all. Relative to Jan's question but on a more global sense, I have quite a few psuedobulbs, most in a fairly shriveled state. All of them live out in a screened pool/patio enclosure (I'm in southern Florida, and I call it a pool cage) under the foliage of palms and such. I'm betting the swimming pool adds to the humidity levels already present, and there's usually great air movement. All of the care sheets I read indicate I am to cut back on watering in the winter months, so I do, but the shrivels make me cringe. So far my care practices have been "less is more"...in that I try to let mother nature provide and I supplement when necessary. I added SuperThrive to my minimal care, both in the misting water and in the soaking water (rainwater only!), and I am thrilled with the clear and obvious improvement, but still the shrivels bug me. Any and all comments, suggestions and bits of advice on what I should be doing relative to my area are greatly welcome!
