It has alot to do with your environment, in my opinion, as to which medium will work best for you. In South Florida, where it's hot and humid, my orchids (mostly phals) were suffocating in sphag and...

Thanks, if it were yours what would you nuke it with? I'm just learning. I have some azamax, that would be my go-to for insects.

Hello everyone

I have seen lots of new growth, both roots and leaves, and now spikes on my previously dormant phal collection since using kelpmax regularly the last few months! I'm a believer in the product. The...

I did. Unfortunately they did nothing. No growth, leaves were dark, no spikes. My backyard is literally a dense jungle. I have them in pots now in a 'dappled' spot close to the house and nearly all...

The problem I was having was finding the right tree with enough light to mount them on, and if it had enough light through the winter they completely baked in the summer and looked awful. My yard...

There is usually a drop around Christmas. I have always brought them indoors before. This time I didn't because I had heard they needed a 'signal' of lower temps to bloom and it did work for me. But...

Yeah I meant that base area that was black. If it is actually rotting, when you touch it, then you have to do something or it's a goner for sure. I don't put cinnamon on roots but I have used...

Thanks, that makes sense. Although when the temp dropped in December, I think it helped produce spikes for the first time in years. But now I'd probably just get bud blast lol! I'd cry if I lost out...

Hello
I have a quick question. I live in South Florida and last night the temperature dropped to around 51 degrees. It may get even colder tonight. For the first time in years my phal collection is...

My two cents:
