Orchids on tree
Its been awhile since I posted anything about my mimosa tree full of orchids, mounted most of them almost two years ago and they look great, flowering, growing and most of all rooting. Have added about 10 new ones, just to make room in greenhouse, I find that Oncidium hybrids do very well on tree.
There are already spikes in the L. anceps, normally they don't start spiking till September, I guess they like tree more then pots or mounts.
This tree goes dormant from November till April, so these plants are in full winter sun with no frost protection, they seam to not mind the summer shade, but I do thin tree out during summer.
Where I live summer humidity is average around 20%, and days in the high 90s f, winters can see freezing nights followed by warm days and cold rain, not best conditions for orchids, but this shows how hardy they really are.
I hooked up a mist/ drip system this year to tree and newly landscaped drought tolerant yard, don't you know orchids are drought tolerant.
Hope you like.
