My Cathy Beck has a new little growth!

My Den Cathy Beck has a little light green pencil tip-shaped new growth peeking out of the pot next to the other pseudobulbs! It wasn't there last week. Yay! I'll try to get a pic. soon-

I'm just making sure she has plenty of light, and water each day so she doesn't get too dried out- I have low humidity. It's the really tiny growth between the pseudobulbs. The pot is the same size that it came in- I just repotted it with Schultz's mix with a tiny bit of sphagnum added to help retain a little moisture.

I'm soo happy! My Cathy Beck's new growth is doing well. I re-potted her again in the same sized pot, but round!!! I wanted to put her in a special pot that wouldn't take a square pot that size. I still mist her every morning, and have her in full (Halfmoon, NY) light. She's doing o.k.-

Thanks, Jenny- It's a pot that I've had since 1974...!! I love strange pots! I don't like them to overtake the plant... but it's fun to use unusual pots for different plants! It sets off their personalities!! Take care...

It's soooooooo cute! I have to run upstairs and check mine, but Solay has a little trick that might help us all! (I love this idea) I guess it is a new version of talking to your plants--I'm not sure what the reasoning is behind this, but I still think it is a fabulous plan You'll understand,Patti--she blows on her plants. Is that a great idea or what

Hi, Jirel...- Thanks! I'm really happy with the leaf-growth, also! I think it's the pot! (or maybe 'cause I'm blowing on them! )
Either way, I'm pleased with the growth!
Actually, I think it's the Hlalfmoon, NY sun, combined with the wormtea!

I too, talk to my plants, (blow on them,Solay!!), and just think they're great!... They seem to understand, and respond!
