Interesting thought. I know there are mini "greenhouses" that I could probably use too.

What about air circulation?

OK, I'm back from the hospital and there were only a handful of casualties. Most were ultimately my fault. There were details about how I water that I didn't think were truly important. Now I know.

Thanks.

I grow indoors, so misting a lot would probably not work. However, the Mist King prompted memories of drip irrigation. I had that in my previous apartment for a while, but with my current...

My experience is that Paph can take up to a week to open fully. Some just never open as fully as you would like.

Vacation care

I'm currently in the hospital for a few weeks. It's not exactly vacation, but I suspect that's the best general umbrella topic.

I'm lucky enough to have a friend who can look after the 'chids for...

I'm a little (!) late getting back to this, but I thought I should report.

I started using Orchiata based on some early responses. I've been very happy with it.

I, too, am now trying to avoid...

Absolutely. I was always going to wait and see what it does. Indeed the oddly shaped tips have now unfurled to be leaves. So I'm guessing that the right answer is that it's just a long rhizome. I can...

I understand and would normally lean that way. However, all the other new growths have been in tight with the existing growths and haven't grown nearly so quickly.

What is this on my Pleur. niveoglobula?

Here's a picture of a new growth that has recently appeared on my Pleurothalils niveoglobula. It seems like it grew to this size in about a day, and nothing noticeable has happened since then.

I'm currently in Savannah, GA, at about 32°N.

In reality, no.

I suppose I could change it, but it wouldn't be by more than, say, 2°C. Over 100 other plants are quite happy with things as they are. (Is this where I should a little frowny face?)

Healthy Dryadella edwallii won't bloom

The quick answer is:
Too dry.

What is the current state of the lumper/splitter debate?

The title says it all.

I haven't been deeply involved in orchid society for almost 30 years and things in and about taxonomy have clearly changed.

S. coccinea and S. cernua are now Cattleyas....

Media: Brand names and sources

My previous source for potting media has been sold yet again, and this time the owner cares much less about wood content in bark. So, I turn to you for suggestions.
