I got Cattleya forbesii (pre-ordered) and impulse bought Cypripedium Aki 'Pastel' at last year's show.
I started out buying 'rescue orchids' and have built up from there. The one I don't have a lot of success with is Miltoniopsis so I'd be glad to hear your tips. I don't have any Miltonia.
I think the problem is that I don't water enough. All my orchids get watered/fed once a week and Miltoniopsis could probably do with more water than that!  |
I actually don't have any Miltoniopsis, just the Miltonia, but I believe they have very similar watering requirements - Miltoniopsis just like more shade and cooler temps. My Milts absolutely detest it when the media gets dry so you're probably right about the watering. I've been moving all of mine to sphagnum moss so I don't have to water them as often. They were previously all in a bark mix - I felt as though I was constantly watering plants!
Maybe a cup of coffee in the café at next year's orchid fair?
We can compare notes and purchases!
