Frustrations with Habenaria and relatives.

[King_of_orchid_growing:)]

My ventures into growing Habenaria and related species (except for Disas - ironically) in the long term has been utterly frustrating!

From the experience of having newer tubers be smaller than the older ones, to losing tubers during dormancy. This group of orchids has been a pain in the royal butt!

I'm doing my best to hold on to what I've got from this family of orchids, and I'm so frustrated, I feel I gotta vent.

The other thing that prompted this post is that I almost lost a small tuber of one of the species in the group of plants in the Habenaria family while digging in the pot trying to find it.

This has prompted me to remove all the tubers of the plants in this God forsaken family from their pots and store them out in the open where I can see them!

If anyone's got any kind of advice for this group of plants, I'd welcome anything anybody has to say.

Thank you in advance!
