Hi,
I need help finding information on the culture of Cypripediums. I don't have experience with Cypripediums. I bought a Cypripedium parviflorum var. parviflorum and Cypripedium reginae. They are in vitro grown, blooming sized plants that are currently dormant.
I need help on deciding whether to grow them in pots or in the ground. Here in Edmonton, AB, Canada the weather can drop to -35oC in a colder winter.
If growing in pots is a better way to go, then I need a orchid media recipe. I'm also considering potting them in bonsai pots, but I'm not sure if this is a good idea. Are bonsai pots too shallow?
I'm excited to learn and attempt to grow a genus of orchids that is new to me... I want to hear about your experiences.
