I used the baker culture sheets a lot in the past when I was growing way more plants than I have now. In the distant orchid collecting past, rich bigwigs who had collectors go out and collect from the wild often would stick everything in a ‘hothouse’ and most everything would rot. Eventually...

Very nice

Ouch! 🤕

Very nice!

Above pics just prior to removing two seedlings for donation to cnyos June auction. The leaves lifted the domes off, busting out and saying ‘get me outta here!’ :) I credit the great growth to Chuck Acker’s excellent breeding and flasking, and the probiotics and rooting assistants also had...

It’s been two years since I bit the bullet and bought a flask of kovachii from Chuck Acker. There was govt stimulus money burning a hole in my pocket and was bored with quarantine life so said ‘why not?’ :) Here’s link to my initial compotting thread here...

It may be ‘who you get plants from’ and what conditions it may have shifted around in. I have to make a post about a flask I bought from Chuck ackers two years ago that has been in compot for two years and are all still alive somehow)

Greetings from south jersey! I used to grow on big rolling carts with shelves , lights, fans in upstate ny. Much tamer collection now

My native orchid hunting friend Ken Hull passed away last fall. For those of you who knew him, his Celebration of Life gathering will be at 1pm on April 15th in binghamton ny. It will be private, but all friends are welcome, I just need a number of definitely interested friends to pass along to...

If you had already tried growing plants in unglazed clay pots sitting in water, then it (zeer pot) might not work any better. But others with more experience using these methods might know

You could try a zeer pot in pot to help cool the root zone

Welcome and thanks for sharing your pics!

Congrats! Crème brûlée is always good 👍

Interesting! Looks similar to the p tayloriana I had before the turn of millennium that died when squirrel chewed into the big clump. Haven’t been able to find another

(Sigh) last year I probably would’ve said yes :) :( Nyeric will probably say yes

Believe it or not, he gives them away

David mellard in Georgia has grown many of them for multiple years successfully. I had some for a few years but too many moves, job and apartment changes and distractions prevented me from having them more than a few years. Once covid came around and being too busy I didn’t follow up to see if...

Nice flowers! I’d take it to judging anyway. You got it to flower in the Great White North, show it off! Back in upstate ny when I had lots of trichoplilias, they would catch me not looking and shoot out a flower bud mixed around everything near them, and trying to move them often a bud would...
