Support wire for cattleyas
I used to have a large greenhouse packed with cattleyas. Got out of growing orchids for a while, and now at 70 getting back in it, to a degree.
I use Lecca or Powerton for my media. I’ve always had great luck with it vs bark.
I can find the old rhizome clips, but I also had a wire that attached to the side of the pot, came up maybe 12” and came around to form a loop to hold the leads in place and gave great support. The wire could be opened and closed as needed.
I used to buy them in Houston at Tea’s Nursery, but they’ve been closed. I don’t know what they call them and they are so handy.
Any ideas?
I tried to attach a picture, but I’m unsure of this format.
Thank you!
