At my local orchid society yesterday, I purchased two Phrags from the speaker, a regional expert (more in Paphs than in Phrags) - Jason Fischer and Caudatum.
He said Jason Fischer and other Besseae types do fine in my conditions, sitting in 3" of water (a humidity tray with the grate removed) but that Caudatum doesn't want to sit in water.
I have grown and bloomed a giganteum sitting in water, and according to Eliseo Teson Giganteum is 50% caudatum.
Does anyone have any advice on what types can sit in 3" of water? I tried klotzschianum and it slowly died. My Piping Rock has some kind of progressing rot - but I had a dallesandroi that got the same problem, and it should like sitting in water. Could be something besides sitting in water of course.
Thanks for your advice!!
p.s. Most of my plants are hybrids. I did bloom the natural hybrid richteri under my conditions.
