I'd be tempted to watch, but even that might be a little stressful.

late autumn blooms

I'm particularly happy that my first Catasetum is finally blooming (Fdk. Midnight Sky 'Dark Pegasus' x Ctsm. John C. Burchett). This year's pseudobulb is over twice the length and width of last...

countering sudden dryness

Here in our region of southern California we're currently being bothered by dry katabatic winds from the desert, colloquially known as the Santa Anas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Ana_winds)....

I read about that shortly after they acquired it. I think I saw it in the Chinese garden a few months ago (that or some other humongous cymbidium), but unfortunately it wasn't blooming then either. ...

Bending creeping/climbing plants to fit

How do you do it?

I have heard talk of bending plants with lengthy growth habits to fit inside pots or baskets, but I've never quite understood how it is achieved. My guess is that it's effected...

I know it has only been a few months, but I'm curious what the results are so far. I just picked up a bare-rooted pandurata and am trying to decide how to pot it.

Like a good root, this thread seems determined to keep growing.

I'll add a contribution: My Ansellia when I finally got around re-potting it a couple months ago.

As a side note, those water...

Prosthechea & Dendrobium

This spring I was disappointed when I briefly mistook Prosthechea cochleata growing a new bulb out of an old bulb as a spike. Thankfully, I didn't have to wait long because it has two actual spikes...

Care for unknown Dendrobium

I picked this up at a local botanical garden. It was sitting with some other small Dendrobiums, which all looked identical to each other, one of which was labeled as kingianum. This plant looked...

I don't have very many duplicates yet, so I just give them nicknames. One of my phals bloomed this year in a shape reminiscent of a sailing ship. It is now the HMS Phalaenopsis.

too late to repot?

I kept meaning to repot this Fredclarkeara hybrid, but never quite got around to it. Now that I'm ready the length of the new roots is giving me pause.

As you can see in the photos there are...

small Dendrobium?

Just acquired this one. From briefly searching my best guess is it's a Den. atroviolaceum hybrid. I'm curious to hear what others think, and if anyone has experience growing something similar.
