What Genus are you finding difficult to grow?

[SaraJean]

Angraecums are my enemy. I know they can grow well down here, I’ve seen it with my own eyes. So far though, the only one I’ve been semi-successful with is an Angraecum distichum. I say semi-successful because it’s been doing pretty good for a couple of years and now, all of the sudden, I’m seeing some yellowing at the base and I’ve lost two growths. Every other Angraecum I’ve tried has crashed— a half dozen didieris, eburneum, leonis, magdalenae and my poor sesquipedale that I had raised from a small seedling and got a horrible infection last year.


Oddly, a lot of the other closely related genera do well like my Mystacidiums, Amesiella, or Aeranthes.... I’m at a loss but I’ll keep trying. I currently have a leonis under lights and I would like to try an eburneum or magdalenae again when I can find one that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg
