Well... My goal this time around is big, healthy plants. Plants that are rough from import. Has anyone actually verified the increase in hormone presence in the plants that are being fed pre-existing hormones from the kelpmax, e.g. vs. a control plant?

Hoping to find these plants available for sale with the orchid budget I have set up for October-November. I recognize and appreciate their rarity and understand I am unlikely to see many of them. ascochilum (had it, lost it, looks like a very fat nitidum) caputgnomonis (I have seen photos of...

Give me a daylight average or the mean for your lighting system.

Hi folks. If you hadn't noticed, I'd been gone. But no one really escapes orchids. I lost my entire collection of rare treats. The green tree python also passed away unexpectedly. In the meantime, I've gotten married, settled into a new house in Houston, and just returned from the...

The synthetic sphag stuff from the Karlboms? I'm starting to collect again this month as the weather gets mild for shipping. Right now the setup is simple, net pots with all high intensity LED lighting. I ordered some of this stuff with my net pots to give it a try. Interested in experience...

In Houston now. Fogging, misting, and evaporative are not options given our high humidity. I basically have think in the compressor-based box. Has anyone done this? Water chiller plus radiator? Mounting a window AC unit? How do you keep the unit safe from the water? Here is the greenhouse...

THE PRODIGAL SON RETURNS TO ORCHIDS We're buying a house with a backyard that is largely patio/pool. I want to get a small but robust (polycarb) greenhouse, just a few feet by a few feet. This would be mostly for Papua New Guinea lower altitude orchids. Recommendations on parts/kits would be...

Has anyone used one of these to control a greenhouse and grow space? Any advice or recommendations?

I have grown a lot of violacea, always in sphagnum or mounted. Is there any advantages to the orchiata potting mix?

A start. Bulbophyllum dolichoglottis, contortisepalum (yellow), denophyllum. Built LED fixture with 6 Cree XPG emitters run at 1 amp a piece.

Hi all, So, how many of you have been using K-Lite/Solo-E since it's been out? Can we get any updates on whether things are still going well? Slippers and non slipper reports welcomed and encouraged. Pics are important, too!

I know these are "impossible" to grow in culture, for all intents and purposes, but I'm really interested in any specific references and literature regarding habitat: elevation, growth habit, etc. Really fascinated by these guys.

Orchids: Bulbophyllum sp. SECTION Stenochilus Papua Bulbophyllum fraudulentum Bulbophyllum fritillariiflorum Bulbophyllum trachyanthum Bulbophyllum (Hapalochilus) aristilabre (known in the US as nitidum) Bulbophyllum concophyllum Wummers Bulbophyllum sp. SECTION Pahudia...

The non preserved kind?

So, I am living in College Station, Texas. As my other post stated, I'm going to get back into orchids pretty seriously. I live in an apartment complex with decent sized balcony-porch hybrids. I'd like to have an outdoor grow area there. It faces East and gets full sun all morning. Now...
