As it\u2019s an orchid that likes a cool environment, Chris grows it in the basement under LED lights of a \u201cphalaenopsis-type\u201d intensity. He waters it \u201cwhenever it gets dry\u201d which usually works out to every 2nd day because it\u2019s growing in a very porous medium composed mainly of LECA (lightweight expanded clay aggregate). He uses distilled water augmented with KelpMax at 1\/5 strength with a bi-weekly flush of distilled water only. Obviously a regime that the plant appreciates! Congratulations on this award, Chris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"627\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/osrbg.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/fullsizeoutput_a01-627x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1105\" srcset=\"http:\/\/osrbg.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/fullsizeoutput_a01-627x1024.jpeg 627w, http:\/\/osrbg.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/fullsizeoutput_a01-184x300.jpeg 184w, http:\/\/osrbg.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/fullsizeoutput_a01-768x1254.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/osrbg.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/fullsizeoutput_a01-294x480.jpeg 294w, http:\/\/osrbg.ca\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/fullsizeoutput_a01.jpeg 1934w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OSRBG\u2019s first \u201cOrchid of the Month\u201d award \u2014as chosen by the votes of members at the November meeting of the Society \u2014 goes to Masdevallia Razzle Dazzle \u2018Pizzaz,\u2019 brought to the Show Table by Chris Varady, C&amp;C Orchids.
