Thanks Penn.

Now the next qusetion is how do I get "mother" into a 16x10' greenhouse along with 6 other epis, about 30 orchids, 11 broms, 6 ferns, and 3 dozen potted plants for the winter?! Last winter one of the branches grew about 4 feet over the winter! I have avoided cutting the mother back so I could have lots of blooms each year. Hopefully some of the later cuttings will start blooming next year, but I've gotten sort of "mother hen" protective of this "chick" (not to mention curious about how big she will actually get to be). Meanwhile I have gotten a Staghorn fern which will eventually take up a *lot* of space, but I should have a few years before that becomes a problem.

Any suggestions other than a larger greenhouse? I already tried that out and DH was not pleased. We just enlarged to the current size last year!

Thanks again for the info - want a cutting? I have several curtesy of my cat chasing a snake under the plants.!
