When to stake cym spikes?

I never know quite when to stake cym spikes! I have been known to snap one or two by mistake, which of course leads to tears of frustration.

This year I'm just letting them do their thing...

Thanks to all for this list.

My ultimate aim is to have at least one fragrant orchid blooming at any one time. I don't have a shade house, so space is limited. Just about every window is now...

Fine webs on orchids - spiders or something more sinister?

Is there anything other than spiders that leave fine webs on orchids?

Should I spray or just wipe off? My orchids all look pretty healthy otherwise.

Cheers,
Deb

I woke up yesterday to find tiny little blooms! I think the colouring of the stems is normal, because the colour is exactly the same as part of the flower.

Phal seedling with upside down leaf

I have just acquired a Phal violacea seedling (about 10cm wide). The newest leaf is upside down. Should I gradually train it to be the right way, or will it flip by itself?

Cheers,

I've just noticed that my Blc King George Serendipity has the beginnings of two flower spikes. This will be my first blooming of this plant, so I am very excited.

Is a 'baggie' a rescue orchid?
