RHYNCHOSTYLIS GIGANTEA
I purchased an unusual orchid on the discount rack awhile back. Tag said "Rhy. Gigantea". It was marked down from $59.99 to $9.99! I have hung it outside in the shade for the summer and have gotten some root growth. It is also getting a new leaf!!! It is in a black plastic pot with a wire hanger on it. It is planted in soil and the old roots are just jammed in there. I would have to cut the pot to get it out of there I think! The person at the greenhouse said that they don't like to be moved from the original pot. Is this true? Should I leave it as it is or trans pot it? It almost looks like a Vanda so I was wondering if it needs soil at all? Also, it is in a shaded spot right now. Do you think that it can take more sun? Thanks for all your help!
