I wick every single plant except Streps now. I have always wicked streps but am changing to see if i get better plants this way. I am watering the streps from the bottom in a tray and then use a turkey baster bulb to pull out any excess water after 30 minutes on my streps . I think they are doing better.

I don't know anymore than other people on here........I just keep experimenting. I am also not going to use #18 poly string anymore...even on the solo cups. They just don't wick enough water and I have changed to #36 string for all wicking.

I want that Orchid (just teasing)..........I would buy them at Lowe's but they aren't pretty and they all costs 34.00 each.............

must add a picture on each post. I will find my vandas when they were in bloom. Remember that I didn't make them bloom. These were new but they are still healthy and putting out new roots and foliage.
