Hi, Im new to the forum and sorta new to CC. I have a few questions on them (ive been researching but still un sure on a few things) I read not to have them by heat vents,my question for this 1 is how far away should they be? right now i have them on a stand 2-3ft above vent (its in the floor)is that okay or should i move them away? i chose this spot as its right in front of a sunny south facing bay window. Also do they like to be hung better then on a stand or is that more of a preference thing? for re-potting is it okay to do so once a yr just to refresh soil then put back in original container? my mix is a 2:1 ratio potting mix,perlite. I think that it LOL,im going to put them outside for summer when things warm up here with hopes i can get re-blooms on my own Thanks for any advice/tips
I agree with Strats. I think they like neglect & like to be pot bound. Someone told me that they like to summer outside in the shade and come in to a sunny window as it begins to cool off in the fall. The coolness is supposed to trigger a bloom. I don't know if this is true. I simply leave mine indoors and they all eventually bloom.
Thanks for the replys im planning on summering mine out doors as well (soon as it warms up)i didnt do anything last year and i got nothing except from the 1's i bought :/
