    My Encyclias grow better slightly raised over the potting material

    My experience with Encyclias is that they grow better is potted so that the base of the oldest pseudobulb, the one that will produce the new growth is slightly higher than the level of the potting material.

The fact that there is a group of orchid that has been specifically bred for the house plant market has made some people think that all kind of...

    I often see orchids massively overpotted, some thrive in much smaller pots and baskets

    I often see orchids planted in massively large pots, way bigger than what is recommendable for orchids. If you carefully supply the water and fertilizer needs of an orchid, some can be grown in surprisingly small pots in relation to the size of the plant. This adult plant of Dendrobium...

    Encyclia Orchid Jungle

    Encyclia Orchid Jungle. My plant produces four feet long inflorescences that have to be staked and secured so that when its windy they don't tip the pot in its side. The inflorescence has forty flowers. Fragrant
