    Default What have I done wrong here

    I have had two of these Pot. Little Toshies for about 7 months. They almost started leaning immediately. I thought it was from lack of sun in the winter but when I gave them more light they just seem to lean further.
    I have been keeping all my orchids outdoors now and they seem to be doing quite well. Several have begun to spike like this one. They all even survived an infestation of several bears, yes, bears.
    Any and all help will be appreciated, I know I have to be doing something wrong here. Since I have had them they got 4 to 5 hours of filtered winter sun, and now 5 hours of tree filtered sun. I only water when dry, about every 10 days to two weeks. Fertilize 1/4 teaspoon/gal each watering; every fourth
    watering lots of plain water to get fert. minerals out. My water is straight from a deep well no chemicals.
    A few of my other orchids are leaning also but not as bad as this.
    Thanks,
    Gordon
