Plant Planter
The Most Uncreative Name in the History of Ever
Yes, indeed, it appears that the One with the Uncreative Name has fallen under the spell of orchidelirium.
I just picked up some Cattleya and Brassavola. I'm currently researching how to grow them and have just about all my care information secured, except I am unsure about fertilizer, since the only orchid mix I currently have is from Miracle-Gro. Apparently, my dad says that "all orchids are the same, and are all easy." I personally don't believe that, and I am not letting that stuff within an inch of my plants until I know. (Add to that the fact that the package says nothing about Brassavola on it.) If they are fine with it, hooray! If they don't appreciate it, then what else is there? I appreciate any facts, opinions, personal anecdotes, research, observations, blah blah blah that you may have to offer!
(In case you were wondering, my research on these plants has proven the Brassavola to be Brassolaelia x Richard Mueller. I am still trying to find out what my Cattleya are and will get pictures soon.)
