I used omite to kill them i thought they were dead and spider mites came back
to the same plant. you can see the damage done to the leaves. black
patches severe infestation.I was quite frustrated then. You can also
see my T5 HO light i provide for the rest of the plant. Most plant don't
bloom when they dont have enough light and food.

ALway give enought (not more) light first before you give fertilizer. If you are
not sure how much light for your Phalaenopsis. Use a light meter
they need 700 to 1500 foot candle of light. May be take a photo of your
growing area and may be we can suggest something.

Now this plant rebloom this year. This plant is really a winner.

sepal you can rebloom your plant. Just something is missing.
Digitalgate, Is that Catt on the second picture next to phal growing in the charcoal? I didn't know that they can grow in pure charcoal...

I know, I know, this is offtopic but I simply had to ask... Sorry.
