Was speaking to a new member called FutoMaki in the Pleurothallid chat room and she showed me a picture of her stunning plant – Pleurothallis grobyi. I asked her how she was dealing with the extra humidity for mounted plants as she grows her orchids indoors. I did not realise from the picture what her plant was attached to until she explained.
The plant is attached to clay pot in the shape of a tube that is porous. You fill it with water and mount the plant outside. What a great idea. She gave me a link to the supplier of these;
Tonröhren - klein :: Schwerter Orchideenzucht
Thought I would share it with you all as I was really impressed with this and you can see for yourselves how the plant is doing!
I advised FutoMaki to post it on the board however she was somewhat reluctant due to her English even though her English is brilliant and I wish I could speak German how she was speaking English to me.
She gave me permission to post this including using her picture of her grobyi.
Well done FutoMaki!
