Update: So it turns out the reason the keikis were doing so awfully was because this plant has a horrible infestation of spider mites that I somehow didn't notice. I noticed when a few of the keikis...

Catasetum saccatum made a ridiculous number of keikis

It has only 5 pseudobulbs and yet it developed 6 keikis over the growing season. It's only now growing a new regular pseudobulb. Not sure what to do about this. I'm afraid it'll suck too much energy...

I wouldn't call it arrogance. Whole genome sequencing takes a while and is really expensive, which is why researchers typically just select one or a few DNA regions to sequence.

I know occasionally dropping leaves is normal, but this seemed different. It dropped two leaves within a month, which concerned me because thats the number of leaves it grows in a year. Plus it...

Sounds good, I'll do that.

Also could root rot cause this? I don't know if I have any but I repotted into a bigger pot not too long ago so I wouldn't be surprised if there was some level of root...

Does anyone here grow their orchids with ants?

I saw this huge Cymbidium with a Camponotus ant colony at a show. The ants were climbing around feeding on nectar that the plant was producing on its stems.

Does anyone here keep ant colonies in...

Brassia new growth yellowing

Sections of the leaves of this most recent round of new growth is turning yellow before its even finished developing. I haven't had this issue with this plant before. Could this be fertilizer burn?

Your favourite Bulbophyllums

I don't grow Bulbos myself, but I'd like to hear your favourite(s). Maybe a bit hard to choose with 2000+ species in the genus, but that diversity is why I made this post.

Could I get some suggestions for books about specific orchid genera? For instance, Arthur Holst's "World of Catasetums" is a great resource on Catasetums.

Thanks guys. I guess I'll stick to my usual bark-sphagnum mix for now. Maybe I'll try what Katie did sometime in the future, when my Louisendorf gets large enough to make a division.
