Arika's Den Cathy Beck

[snowballsarebad]

Finally posting on my little Cathy Beck! When I first got it, it had only the one large PB, plus a small old one. It started a new one right away, and now it is taller than the previous PB. It's doing great!
This one is kept on the bottom of my orchid bench, which has a 60% shade cloth. I'm keeping it in the company of phals, but it does get a good dose of direct sunlight around 9 am. Days are almost always near 90 F or above, sometimes nearing 100, and nights aren't dropping below 65. Gets rain when it comes, worm tea occasionally and fertilizer once a month. It is potted in a coconut coir and fir bark mix, something I plant most of my small or thirsty plants in.

Look at that cane on the second one! It looks fat in the center, lol! I think you'll definately get blooms this summer! Good growing!

Excellent - I would be super proud of myself if only mine would look HALF that good! Good job.

It's gotta be the warmth and brightness that these little boogers love.

Hooray! My Cathy Beck has started a spike. It is tiny, so I will post pics once it gets just a little bit bigger. Also, a tiny new growth is also starting at the base.
And thank you for the compliments everybody. I do think it is really benefiting from the Virginia summer.

Congratulations!!! Mine is in spike, too! They can bloom together! Good growing!
