About to receive a flask of a different crossing of PEoY from Sam! Stay tuned for pictures....speaking of pictures, how are they looking these days?

Alas, they have been sold. They were very vigorous though. I am down to 7 plants these days, only one paph, a delenatii. My suggestions, keep them moist, humid, plenty of air movement, and as much or as little light as they'll stand. Let the leaf color be your guide.

2 months ago I got a PEOY flask from Sam as well and they like to be kept moist.

Wonderful tips; thanks, guys! The flask should be arriving in the next few days. I'm really looking forward to growing some multiflorals from babies...even though it's a looooong road.

They're still gone. Follow David's thread. Looking good David!

They're going from 100% humidity in the flask and it's normally ten days until an orchid can handle normal humidity. Although you could keep them more humid longer if there's no sign of mold. The brown leaves will probably grow mold eventually if they're in high humidity.
