    Nothing special except for sitting this one in a tray of water. Using RO water, fertilize at every watering at 1/2 strength and giving it Catt light.

    That one got some wonderful colours going on. What's a good phrag to start with (I'm going paphs already, just haven't earned any blooms yet)?
