Bush Snails treatment

Does anyone know of/use a product that might help control bush snails? Other than the pellets that get gooey and moldy after they get wet. Thanks.

for some strange reason, I have decent luck with dendrochilums and bulbophyllums. Getting better with Vanda also. Should toss everything else!

Leaves are 6-9 inches long. It hangs in a tree and gets a fair amount of light. I've read that they can take quite a bit. Mine also dries out--not on purpose!

If one sticks ones nose into the flower, it is not exactly pleasant but it is not as stinky as the echinolabium. The echinolabium stinks when standing close by.

Yellow Crazy Ants

I've tried boric acid with jam and with cat food/syrup combo. That was suggested by the ant lab people here. These ants are hard to control so it seems. Ask Mr. Google. It is very scary. Thanks...

Dendrobium batanense culture

My friend, Kona Lady, gave me a start of this plant. I can't seem to find info on it. Anyone know anything? She has great success with it but I was just wondering how it is "supposed" to grow!

Bulbophyllum vaginatum

This is the most flowers I've had on this orchid. I think I still prefer B. medusae but at least this one smell better!
