If You Love Vandaceous Orchids

[Plodde]

Thats nice to know! Usually i am terrified of spiders but these are so small that they dont really bug me ( not spiker mites btw), and now that i know they eat flys even better. As long as the bugs dont harm the plants/roots i dont mind.

I will definitly post more pix once more buds have opened. keep your fingers crossed for me that they dont blast.

I am most excited about my Rhynchostlis retusa! the spikes are so tiny though i think they might have blasted during shipping. I really hope not.

Yes I have to get rid of the snails! Yesterday I spent a lot of time picking snails out of the pots. I keep them hanging above my sink and have the pots in plastic bags. This helps with humidity and to catch anything that falls out. I examine them regularly and move any snails I see

I take no prisoners with snails. I'm pretty tolerant of a lot of things, but those that do damage.....

We are having a lot of rain at the moment that will bring the snails and slugs out in force, so I will be sowing chemmical megadeth (snail pellets) all round the garden, but especially near the greenhouse.
The first time I did that, there were snail shells and dying snails all OVER the place. Hundreds and hundreds.

You try growig anything where there are those sorts of odds!

All of them very beautiful. Luck with your buds.
