Probably because I'm lazy. Which, I think I'll probably just go with Dennis Olivas' method - treat most of my plants mostly the same.

I may do some color coding on tags or popsicle sticks though....

I don't think this is Onc Sharry Baby

Any thoughts on what this might be? Or is it in fact a unique cultivar of Sharry Baby?

I use the Baker culture sheets and have observed that some plants that supposedly need a hard dry winter rest don't get that in nature. L anceps and D kingianum, for instance. And, the large...

Hi Leucadian, this is what confused me

I guess you're in Leucadia? I love North County. Went to UCSD in mid-80s and when I go back to Encinitas et al, I wonder why I ever left!

Oncidium wyattianum

One problem with the wire tripod is it would have to secure the base of the plant and the leaves every few inches. They are long leaves but very floppy. I guess I didn't receive this plant in the...

Oncidium wyattianum

I got this plant from EG in Feb as well. I mounted mine, then hung it up in a relatively high light area. Bad idea! I think it wasn't the strongest plant to begin with, but between that week or so,...

Thanks! We definitely had colder weather and less sun than usual this winter. It might be a reach, but we also had 10 days of weird smoky weather from the Camp Fire. Who knows.
