My Phrag. Emma Lommen (Fritz Schomburg x fischeri) is compact. It is supposed it bloom when it's fairly small. Mine has two growths but hasn't bloomed yet. It's my smallest Phrag. https://www.orchidweb.com/products/phrag-emma-lommen~3267.html

I got my light stand from Gardeners Supply. My light stand has two shelves with 3 bulbs of HO T5's. They also have a 3 shelf plant stand but each shelf only has 2 bulbs. They are manufactured in Vermont I think, but they are not cheap. So far I've been real pleased with it. I was able to...

So pretty! :)

Thanks Linus!

I started using the light cart Nov 1st. I keep my Phals and Paph on one shelf and my Phrags and higher light orchids on the other shelf. I am able to raise and lower the lights. I already had to raise the lights because some of my Phals started to turn purple. The Paphs looks...

Each shelf has 3 48" 54 watt HO T5 bulbs. I keeps the Paphs a little over 1 foot below the lights. They are all mottled- leaf types: Paph. Avalon Pearl Paph. Hung Sheng Curtisii Paph. Hilo Green #3 x Hsinying Yosemite 'Full Moon' Paph. Pedro's Moon Paph. Lynleigh Koopowitz

Hi! This is my first winter growing under lights. I have HO T5's. I know that when my Phals turn purple they are getting close to their limit of maximum light. How do I tell when my Paphs are getting too much light?

It's pretty. It's like a blush Chablis wine.

Very nice!

They don't specialize in orchids, they just have some Catts and Phals.... No slippers. I got my BLC Everything Nice 'Showtime' HCC/AOS from them last year... It hasn't bloomed yet, but I'm sure that is because I'm doing something wrong... Most likely not getting enough light.

My TDS meter measures in ppm, but of what I don't know. I think the water softener takes out the iron in our well water, then exchanges it with salt...

Our water runs through a NaCl Water Softener. Out of the tap it is 165 ppm. I now use RO water, but I used to get Phals to bloom with this water.

Dot, Out of the three leaves that I had to cut, 1 leaf has the yellow line, 1 is just brown , and the third has like a brown stripe before a green strip at the cut line. ????

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I have a similar problem. On one of my Phrags I get brown/rusty leaf tips that spreads downward slowly. I cut the tips off into clean leaf tissue (and treat the scissors before and after) but it comes back. Should I just discard the plant?

Finally got my light stand all put together. The T5's work fine. This is what it looks like from the factory... image by cponsolle, on Flickr
