Yes, I know about Stanhopea sending spikes downward. I have previously owned a Gongora that did bloom for me in a similar manner and the nursery did tell me. I hope I someday need to worry about the...

Thanks Roberta!

I am in a house, but it is not mine. I am afraid there would be drama. I can't afford to move. I only bought the plants to avoid wasting the gift certificate.

Bought this at a local plant sale today. My brain insists that it is some kind of orchid and that I should recognize it.

Fungus on Phal roots... what if anything should I do?

This plant has looked curly and a bit floppy, so I took a look at the roots. I saw white stalks with a ball on top. I suspect these are fungal fruiting bodies. They are also present on the media,...
