You may want to change the metering method. The dark background is likely to fool the camera into over-exposing the whole picture (hence the washed-out colors).

I grow both bellina and violacea on a windowsill. They both like warmth (30-32C) during the day, but I can only give them 24-26C maximum. Apparently they have adapted to my conditions.

Oncidium ornithorhynchum culture advice?

I "specialize" in Phalaenopsis, but I couldn't resist buying an Oncidium ornithorhynchum (some 3 months ago). It has spent all this time outside, it's doing great and now has some 10 spikes in...

That's exactly how I lost a plant last year. The inner pot was actually a small plastic basket packed with sphagnum, but it wasn't visible because it was covered with bark chips. When I got to it, it...

Any precaution to take when using KelpMax / auxine?
