Beautiful plant and photo. Looks like it is a 2015 calendar photo! Happy jolly New Year! Joanne

Beautiful plant.

I had ... and lost Jolly Orchid and Winnergreen.

I'm better with the standards.

Any tips on growing the mini's and semi-mini's ???

You probably know all this, Aegis, but some tips include:
1. Increased light requirement over standards-so if you can place lights ~2-3" closer may be beneficial
2. Using an appropriate size pot is very important; 2.5" is the largest you should ever use, down to 2" for a micro-mini or a baby/small mini-you should have 2", 2.25", and 2.5 to chose from
3. Benefit will accrue from repotting with pruning every 4-6 months
4. If they are rotting on you, a little more perlite in the mix can be beneficial
I hope this helps

Sorry. No special tips here as i am still figuring this out too! I have all of my plants in 1.5" Oyama Pots or little plastic condiment cups with wicks. The condiment cups are still way to big for the "pot needs to be 1/3 the size of the plant" rule. I just moved some over to oyama about a month ago as i have been having trough with the wicks consistently working.... not sure why. All my plants are under a shop light about 12" from the bulbs and seem to like it. I had them 8" as some had suggested but that seemed way to bright for them and bleached out a few of the variegated varieties.
