I water every two weeks or so at 1/4 to 1/2 strength of Jacks 20-20-20. Then every 6 weeks or so I wash the orchid just to remove the excess salts when it is scheduled to be fertilized. Is it...

An interesting phal and baby phal

I rescued a phal from the trash at Home Depot about 2 years ago that was in spike but very dry. I watered and nursed it and the flowers lasted about 5 months. I never cut the spike back because it...

I have vandas and live in Virginia where it gets cooler. I keep mine in teak baskets (slatted) and keep a little moss over the roots, about 6 hours of daily indirect sun, and they do fine. I keep the...

Looks as if it has completed a cycle. I have found my Dens grow numerous new roots before going into spike and later budding.

Update: the main orchid died but I have a keiki. Now after some time I have a new cane growing. I potted the new den in rocks and it seems to really like its conditions.

Just a thought

I noticed you have fruit trees. Why not just use hangars and hang the orchids from the trees. They grow that way all the time and requires no special care if they are potted in rock or cleaned...

Update

The main plant died but I did take the keiki and potted it in rocks......is has a really nice green color and is doing well. Once I took the keiki the main plant died quickly.

Vandas

How do the roots of the vanda look? I would suggest to water more often (just the roots). The pics make it hard to tell what is affecting the leaves but begin with addressing the moisture/humidity...

I too rescued two Home Depot phals. Instead of repotting, I just added some medium and kept a better watering schedule. I have flowers on both but had to cut back some brown spots on two leaves. I...

Vandas

It is my understanding that vandas can only absorb water for roughly 8 minutes per day. I have one in a hanging teak basket and the roots are growing slowly but steadily. I live in Virginia and...

lava rock

I just repotted 2 cattleyas in lava rock. I washed off the lava rock first and it does a nice job of holding the orchids in place. I am having very good luck with having orchids potted in in plain...

old pseudo bulbs

This may sound like an odd question but do old pseudobulbs dry up and turn brown? If so when should they be separated from the orchid and discarded?


Thanks

It is about 70 in my house. Do these like the sun? I have a rather large sliding glass south facing door so I can put it on the dining room table so it is in bright light (not in the direct sunlight).
