Algae growing in S/H medium
:hello I have all my orchids in S/H medium and some of the containers are showing signs of algae growing towards the bottom. Two containers outside the orchidarium and a few inside the orchidarium. What can I wash through to get rid of it?

Sheridan , I have never found algae in my pots to be a problem , it does not seem to affect the growth of my plants . It would be interesting to read if anyone has had problems.

Thanks Des it just looks yukky.

Since I live in a very hot/humid island most of the pots, even the wooden baskets have some algae. :twocents: I personally think that it gives them some character :blushing:

Thanks Wanda :biggrin: as long as it doesn't interfer with the orchids growth. BTW where in Puerto Rico do you live? My dad was born in San Juan and most of my relatives came from Spain via Puerto Rico way back when. :biggrin:
TTFN - Sheridan :waving |
I live in San German which is on the other side of the island.

:waving Hey all! I'm new here, but I'm a S&H nut, so I just thought I'd chime in....the algae in my pots grosses me out too, but frankly, the stuff you'd have to use (Physan or something similar) to get rid of it is pretty gross too, not to mention toxic...so I opted to let me algae kinda do its thing :-) I agree tho - its nasty!!! The plants don't seem to be effected by it though - so its all good.

I've got algae in all of my pots. I just ignore it and remind myself that it's just another plant I'm cultivating... and rather well at that!
