orchid

I've been doing a lot of reading about the benefits of Maxsea, and It sounds like people swear by the stuff - with results ranging from bringing back plants from the dead to turning plants into monsters. But here in the great white north, it's a bit tricky to get hold of the stuff. I'm...

Link to Short List Hey everyone! I live in upstate South Carolina. I've been growing plants for years and I like to look for a new challenge when the plants I have are growing well. I've got Peace Lilies, Spider plants, Snake plants, Philodendron, multiple succulents, and several orchids. I...

I recently repotted all my Nepenthes, the only thing that is making me second guess myself is that I didn't disturb the soil around the roots of the plants I just moved them to bigger pots and new soil around the original clump. The mixture is 70/20/10 of dried Chilean sphagnum moss, peat moss...

Upon my nightly scuttle, I happened upon a very nice phalaenopsis. Im a sucker for the Doom-Bin plants at the back of the supermarket. However, I normally never buy orchids because im very skilled at killing them. Also, I dont really know much about them. I currently have a vanilla orchid, but...

Here's the modest set up I put together for a batch of highland seeds- never tried Nep seeds before, but a windfall literally put some in my lap at the SF conservatory of flowers a few months ago (I contacted the head of the bacps to alert the grower :) the light is a cheap LED on a 16 hour...

Hi, I'm looking to trade a few nepenthes and other tropical plants. I can provide photos upon request. You can PM me anytime for a response. Thanks, Randy What I Have For Trade (ROOTED): N. Ventricosa x Alata "Ventrata"- (fully rooted w/ small pitcher) *TRADED* Anthurium Faustomirandae...

Recently, I jumped on a sale of U. Reniformis (though I have not grown any of the orchioides utrics previously). As with any new type of plant, I am overly paranoid and have a few questions that I haven't found answered in the guides here (which I have read religiously). I feel like I'm...

I need some help here with my N. ventricosa x "Lady Pauline". I've had it for 2+ years now and it's just leggy and scrawny looking. It was sold to me from a reliable ebay seller as a seedling. I've been growing it under intermediate conditions mostly. I thought after the first year, it was in...

I have seen a few posts about Pygmy sundew gemmae lately, was wondering if anyone out there currently has any for trade or whatever. Mostly I have Aldrovanda and some other aquatics. Though I also have a bit of a sprawling noid orchid that I was told had orange flowers. Or Stapelia or...

I'm offering a single specimen of this eastern US native orchid. Plant is currently in a 4" round plastic nursery pot, but for shipping purposes it will be removed. I will send it bare root or with the loose media at the winner's discretion. Although it's flowers aren't very showy, the dark...

I have about 30 square feet of wall space that I'd like to transform into a vertical terrarium/orchidarium of sorts. I'd like to focus on epiphytes, especially orchids, when I plan my plants. I've looked at hundreds of orchids online, and I just end up wanting them all. So maybe you guys can...

Hi everyone, I have really been hit hard this summer with pests on my CPs. I have found Mealybugs, Aphids and what I think is some kind of Mite. I have not been able to identify it yet as it is very small. I do know that it is red/orange in color. So I am doing some research on methods to get...

Title says it all. Got a pod's worth of seedlings which have sprouted (mother is N. jacquelineae), seeing mostly cotyledons so far although a couple are starting to develop their new leaves. I've got a urea free orchid fertiliser that I've been using on my neps with success so far, when should...

I really don't know how to start this, so let's just skip the first part. I am new here, but I've been watching this forum constantly for a long time (at this point, it's probably stalking). I'm currently growing a huge assortment of phalaenopsis, dendrobium and a unintelligible orchid...

Due to a mistake on my part, and amazing generosity on the part of the seller, I find myself with a few extra of this temperate terrestrial orchid. The genus Goodyera are mostly grown for their interesting foliage, like a temperate jewel orchid. The winner will receive 3 bare root plants. To...

My grass pink and egret orchids just died back to bulb form. Because they will be inside for the winter, should I dig them up and put them in my refridgerator to keep them cool and rot free, or should I just leave them in the bog garden along with the sarracenia and other things? It seems to get...

I guess I use to much fertilizer, but I always get negative results when I fertilize my Drosera. I was using a 150ppm urea-free orchid fertilizer sprayed on the leaves, but it resulted in deformed leaves. I recently tried some beta pellets, but that appears to have been a bit much as well. Is...

Im looking for a smallish orchid to go in my terrarium and jewel orchids appear very small and pretty…any advice? thanks

I have received an orchid division labeled as a "hardy Chinese ground orchid" (Bletilla), which I can tell from the foliage it's not. Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures of the blooms. It was given to me as a gift from a friend who grows it on an east-facing windowsill, with the directions...

Finally got around to posting these. Don't ask me to identify any of them.
