| How did your roots look on yours? I repotted mine last Friday, and the roots were a little brown, I am glad I repotted when I did. Yours is so cute in it's little pot.

| My roots weren't too bad- a few were brown, but I trimmed them. I have a new root growing now, as seen in picture #1 and a new leaf ( very small, yet) coming from the top ( of pic. #2)!

| Okay, what on earth are you doing to make this baby grow? Mine is making me go bananas by not doing anything.

| I'm growing this one under lights. T-12 grow lights. about 8" from the lights. I'm watering every day.(I have to because the lights are kind of drying and we have zippo humidity here) It's in Schultz's mix. My other one that's mounted, I water every day but that's near a window. That one's not doing a thing. At least it's not dying! When I water, I sometimes use worm tea, and sometimes just a pinch of Better-grow orchid fertilizer. Usually plain old tap water. I water both plants with the same stuff each time, so it's the light or the growing medium that's making a difference.

| May 16th- Her new leaf is growing!  The new root is finding it's way into the mix, also! My other one that I bought from Larry's Orchids and mounted, hasn't done a thing. That one is in natural light.

| It's supposed to be in the 30's in the next few nights! I think it likes my grow lights. The one in natural light isn't doing any thing either. Days are going to be in the 50's- We had a few nice days, but the growlight's in the basement, so I don't think that's what's doing it!

| I think you are right Jenny, mine is under the octopus light on my desk, and it's got fluorescent lights in it. I scoped two of the lights over the plants. My little ambi is getting no real natural light, just fluorescent. I would say about 12+ hours a day.

| Mine is now a mirror image of yours brookn. Its newest leaf started out penny sized. I suppose I need to steal someone's camera and take a pic.
