    This has always been a problem plant. It took me years to figure out how to bloom it and now that I have it blooming well, it got bush snail damage.

    I've increased the light again and keeping it more moist.
    I have it now growing with my Maxillaria. Afternoon sun, moist fine bark mix.

    Hey Ron, did you get that plant from me? My tag says Reihi, though I cant confirm that clone anywhere. Mine hasnt bloomed for some time, so like you, Im upping the light.

    Joe, my inventory does not note where it came from but I believe it did come from you. I have shared it with many over the years. I drove past New Haven yesterday...you were in my thoughts. Next time I am down, we will have to get together.
