I take risks and just have done, as of yet I don't know what my conditions are best for and I am kinda experimenting. We have differences in temps and light in different parts of the downstairs of the house ( upstairs just way too cold, no central heating) Reading this thread and another I am now a little concerned
I have just bought as a Masdevallia Veitchiana x Constricta x Davisii and it seems these are not the easiest of plants to keep alive and get to bloom, I also bought Coelogyne massangeana, Odontoglossum grande and Paphiopedilum micranthum. I got them all on Ebay, I know I am crazy but I am going to have some fun and learn a lot off these, they were not exensive so if my murderous side comes out although I will be sad I wont have lost too much money. No more orchids for a while ( except project orchid and maybe a TC
)
