Now I've seen how resilient they are, I probably would like to try some grown in the ground. However my garden border is full shade, so I'm not sure I'd get the most out of them. I doubt they'd die...

A couple of my Lepanthes are recovering well

Since taking them out of the oversized terrarium that I've learnt from, they've had a little setback (well the Calodictyon had only 1 leaf left), and now they're recovering.

Mine is a warm growing hybrid in almost certain of it, I'm sure its the Siriporn Pink hybrid. I'll do some double dose rainmix in the next few waterings. The coir lining is also fairly old so hold...

Nectria on roots of Neofinetia Falcata
