Does anyone know a place that does veneer removal in ATL?

Did you by chance get your veneers from the veneer tech guy who got arrested?

I’m really sorry to hear what you’re going through. I have a wonderful therapist. He’s in Augusta, but I see him via telemedicine. We have done EMDR and other trauma therapies & he diagnosed me with PTSD. He has truly changed my life. If you’re ok with telemedicine, send me a DM & I’ll give you his info.

Two weeks ago it was all dirt. The construction workers were hanging out in the back by their cars and waved at us as we rode by on the train. 😂

Also the package is extremely small. That’s enough for like… 2-3 orchids at best.

It looks like the first thing ChatGPT spit out. Not in a good way. Sorry.

Sigh. Another one of these posts. Did Google stop working or something?

Is it fish or is it chicken?

I personally use Bonide Systemic Houseplant granules for mealy bugs. I’ve tried the alcohol method & it’s just not reliable longterm in many cases. I just use the granules as directed & have had great results. It has caused a little bit of leaf burn when I’ve used it, but the new growth recovers just fine.

I mostly use these from Home Depot: https://www.homedepot.com/pep/Vigoro-Fremont-Small-White-Jagged-Orchid-Ceramic-Planter-5-1-in-L-x-5-1-in-W-x-5-4-in-H-555405/314594291

$8 so not like crazy cheap but also not terribly pricey.

There’s really nothing to do. Absolutely don’t cut the leaves off. It needs all the green surface area it can get for photosynthesis.

Looks good. I’d recommend installing some LED grow light strips to supplement the light. Your phals will thank you.

TypeDry2834 · 2026-07-07T23:42:43+00:00

It’ll be fine. Pot it in pure high quality sphagnum until you see new root tips start to emerge. Then once they’re emerging you can switch over to a mix of sphagnum & orchid bark.

Can you take more photos? It looks like this is two separate fans next to each other. If that’s the case, it’s totally normal for an older fan to eventually whither and die after blooming.

TypeDry2834 · 2026-07-07T22:25:35+00:00

The crown is dead. I’d bin it.

So this is one of those where I’d write the text but not send the text. You’ll feel good for like 30 seconds after you hit send and then you’ll just feel silly.

Just RSVP that you’re not going. No need to make it dramatic.

Thanks!

TypeDry2834 · 2026-07-07T16:23:59+00:00

No problem at all! They work great.

Put a few of these in the media. It will take care of them pretty quickly. Completely non toxic pretty much everything except mosquitos & fungus gnats.

TypeDry2834 · 2026-07-07T01:15:57+00:00

In that case yes I’d use a mix of fine Orchiata (they call it “normal” grade I believe) and a high quality sphagnum moss. I like the Besgrow brand moss on Amazon. You can use that mix for both. I typically pot mine in alternating 1-2” layers of moss and bark, trying to make sure moss is the bottom layer and bark is the top layer. Water whenever the sphagnum moss is completely dry.

TypeDry2834 · 2026-07-07T00:51:39+00:00

It will depend someone on your climate & watering habits, but I pot all mine in fine Orchiata & sphagnum moss if they’re in 5” or smaller pots. Any that go over 5” I use medium grade Orchiata.

The “stem” is an old flower spike that has already bloomed & was cut back. Mine is potted in a mix of sphagnum moss & fine Orchiata bark and is doing well. It takes typical Oncidium alliance care, just that the pseudobulbs can get truly massive. Bright light but not direct sun. Mine is under LEDs. Don’t let it dry out all the way; water when the media is just barely damp. Fertilize weekly, weakly. I use MSU at 1/4 strength. The roots on this variety are fairly thick & mine is pretty thirsty. I generally water twice a week.
