    No - no special treatment at all . Just my routine S/H which means ( nowadays ! ) that I take them out of the water when they are doing nothing - no spike, no new growth or developing growth - and put them back in when there is. I'll tray and remember to take a pic of my S/H set up - a lot of Oncid hybrid spikes at the moment ! but I'm just off to College for my chocolate cookery course , and tomorrow I'm off to the East of England Show ( Peterborough International Orchid Show - the biggest orchidfest in UK ) - so it could get overlooked unless someone reminds me when I'm back in front of the PC -Sunday evening or Monday next...
