Oak Hill Shipment Arrived

[Shadow]

I love your Schilleriana! Very nice purchase!

[malweth]

The leaves really do make the shilleriana.

Blooms seem to be solid pink or pink and white: Phalaenopsis schilleriana

and supposedly nicely fragrant.

We'll see how I feel about addiction when they bloom (or die ).

[Shadow]

I hope they won't die. They are too nice to die. Good luck with them and keep us informed about their destiny.

Very nice choices , I am not going to help out a lot another one with the beautiful leaves is the Phal. celebensis from Oak Hill .. Gin

[Helen]

Hey, nothing's going to die...stay positive....
I'm partial to pinks...mauves, reds.
Good luck with them...

[Dorothy]

It has the fragrance of cotton candy and roses.
(So I was told!)
Sounds oh so nice!

[Shadow]

The feagrance is nice, but it is very light, unfortunately.

I repotted these... Good pots aren't easy to find...!

Both went into smallish clay pots (glazed) with spag. moss and some of the bark they were shipped with.

I also got some small plastic trays and put gravel and water in the bottom of them... a bit extra humidity - though I can't see that small bit of water helping too much

Pictures when I can

Why did you decide to repot them into glazed clay pots? They look nice, but it is definitely not good for orchids.

nothing else available locally...

what's so bad about them - I know they sap water, but that shouldn't be too big a problem?
