Thanks so much!! I have a Margarita Lime Phalaenopsis that was blooming just beautifully when I got it gosh a couple years ago and I have not been able to get it to bloom since. The leaves look SUPER healthy and I have a new leaf growing just about every 3 or 4 weeks now it seem ( Its been sitting next to my aerogarden so I think it likes being near the grow lights). Basically my question is how do I get new bloom stalks to grow. I have one original ( it came with 2 but one just died and withered away after it had finished blooming). Do they grow new ones or is the a done deal once the bloom stalk dies? Hope that makes since. Thanks so much for asking her I really appreciate it. It was so beautiful and now it just wont bloom again. *huggles* Felicia =0)

Great that is what I started doing so I will just be patient with it and let it do its thing. I add a 1/4 teaspoon to 1 gallon of water and use that every 2 weeks on it. Its also sitting over a tray of water (not in it though ) since my house is so dry. I figured with all the leaves that were growing that it was at least not dying LOLOL. Tell your Mom thanks!! I appreciate the help! OMGosh you didn't have to send me anything!! You are to sweet! I don't know what to say but THANK YOU so much!! This is going to be an awesome birthday! Usually LOL they suck ( my own fault ) as I just used to dread them. Now I can't wait for them!! Life is going to be so much better at 35 *grin* Yippie!! Looks like you got your av up!! Love pink and sparkily!!! To cute goes great with yoru wonderful picture!! *big BIG hugs* Felicia =0)
