The keiki or the mother plant? The keiki has about 8 roots, all around 1" long. The zombie mother plant probably has more, but we're not talking a fabulously healthy root system here! My main...

Should I remove Keiki from struggleng Den phal?

I have the original zombie Den phal- it has gone to the brink SO many times and bounced back, refusing both to die and to thrive. It has also thrown a load of keikis, most of which I have removed to...

Cymbidium spike rotted. Now what?

So, my first Cym spike has rotted (not first ever, it bloomed last year, I mean first to rot.) I've pulled it out and off the plant, but is there anything else I should do? I don't want the rot to...

Dendrobiums- what am I doing so wrong??!

I seem to kill any Den I go near. I'm left with one which has pulled back from near-death twice over the past 2 years, but is once more on a slide downhill. It's a Den phal type, kept warm and...

Thanks- I'll return and report. By the way, what sort of remains will the scale leave on the leaves when they are dead and gone? Do they stay clinging, fall off, leave the munched pits that they...

Thanks Joann,
The problem has been obvious for about 6 months, but I think that it must have started with the introduction of one of the Phals from someone else's collection about a year ago. When I...

Boisduval scale :(

I just can't get them off! I have 3 phals infected (all kept together) and have tried rubbing with q-tips and meths, spraying with bayer all in 1, and they are no cleaner. Is it possible that they...

Bifoliate Cattleya hybrid

Can someone just clarify the growth order on this. It's a first gen. Catt. bowringiana hybrid (Epicat.plicaboa)- I've read contradictory things about when the root growth starts, is it before or...

At least I assume that is what has got to them. 4 large chunks taken out of 2 Cattleyas. If you've had a problem in the past what did you do? I already had traps down, but clearly that didn't do...

Half dead Dendrobium chrysotoxum?

First of all, I just want to say as a disclaimer that I'm not very good with Dens.

I have a young Den. chrysotoxum which I assumed was on its way out- the pbulbs are getting yellow, and it dropped...

NOID green leaf paph culture

I'm not convinced it's the light that's the problem, but you are right, I guess it's the most usual cause. I have them growing outside on a South Western roof during the spring, summer and early...

Carol,
Thanks for the reply. No, I haven't repotted, and it's in the media from the nursery- a fine seedling bark/ shredded sphag mix it looks like to me. The plant looks otherwise healthy and...

It depends entirely on what sort of orchid you want to use it for! People will tell you a line of disaster stories for when it's been used for Phals (mainly). I've used it for seedling Catts very...

It's been a year, but worth the wait! There is still another spike on the way to maturity, so may well post again when both are fully in bloom!
