How to Stake Flowers of Clowesia
 
1 Attachment(s)
I have a Cl. Jumbo Grace 'Jumbo Orchid' with 2 spikes starting to form. Should I leave these to hang or should they be given support? I'm not sure if these are pendant types or not.
Thanks!
John

Nobody stakes them in nature so I'd let them hang.

For display and avoiding damage put the plant on another upturned pot.

Thanks, I will do that. It's just that the little spikes seem to trying to go out then up as if they wanted were orienting to the light rack or maybe that was their tendency.

My Clowesia tend to get flower stakes all over the place. Never staked them ...

Good to know. I'll leave them alone and just place the pot up to give them room.

Thx!

Ya, no need to stake these guys. Be sure to post pics when the flowers open!
