Right... I knew fans offered many benefits. Usually it is off, but when we are hot in the spring (before we turn the AC on) we turn it on high. Is it BAD for the plant? Could it over dry it, or...

Mount Dendrobium Phalaenopsis?

I just mounted my first orchids (a couple cattleyas), and I'm hooked. I was looking around at what other plants I might have to experiment with, and I say a recent division of a phalaenopsis-type...

The skewers are a great idea, I installed some as soon as I read it. I also changed how the box hangs. The plant nearly projects directly sideways now. It probably has a 15* downward angle. So...

Good to know! I didn't realize it was more sideways than down. I can easily adjust the basket wire hanger. I guess I was confused when I read something on google that said phals point "down." The...

First time mounting: how'd I do?

I'm no where near bored with orchids yet, but I was getting ready to try some new stuff. I've been growing about a year, and decided I would try mounting some plants.

Sounds great. I figured watering them before they were completely dry--especially during the summer--wouldn't hurt if it was only once or twice a year.

Excellent idea to lightly water leading up...

Interesting. I have the plant in a south window, but it was 20 feet from the nearest window at the shop. I filter the light slightly with a window blind set to be about half open. Cattleyas and...

Bent leaf on Psychopsis

So I lost a Psychopsis mariposa a few weeks ago. The flower store (not orchid store) I bought it from kept it way to wet and overpotted; I thought it was worth a try at $10. You win some, you loose...

I was watering like that for a while, dunking that is. I washed out the mixture every few weeks with a strong blast of tap water. I can do that again easily.

The roots weren't the best, but there were several. The top layer of bark is a litte more coarse than the bark underneath. I had to sift through my stash to find smaller pieces.

I really thought the carnivorous plant addiction was as bad as it could get. Turns out I was wrong!
