Dedrobium Nobile - clay too cold?
I have a Noid Dend Nobile type that bloomed this winter in my house under less than ideal conditions and I like it. I have it in a 5" and it looks like there are several plants in the pot and it needs something a little bigger for new growth. I don't want to divide it yet.
I have a 6.5" clay which looks perfect and will keep it from falling over or will have to go to an 8" plastic unless I order something or run all over town which is difficult for me and I might not find what I need anyway.
I used to grow them in clay all the time but the windows in the senior complex where I live now get COLD in the winter and I know when I water wet clay will stay chilly, I try to keep them dry and dormant but they still need some moisture. The windows are doublepaned and no frost is visible but its cold. I know they like a winter chill but its really cold.
Any opinions?
Thanks, judi
