This orchid looks exactly like my Baldan's Kaleidoscope "Golden Treasure," which I special ordered exactly because it's known to bloom like CRAZY. I've read it blooms quite often, some say near...

It was a root that grew while in S&H, so I'm pretty sure it's the bugs that are doing it. Shall I treat the roots with anything while I repot?

Birthday present! What is it?

My sweet, wonderful husband came home today with a giant beauty of a dendrobium! I was thrilled, but it didn't come with a tag. Anyone have any idea what kind of dendrobium it could be?

I don't see any perlite. It looks like straight coir to me. But the vendor at the show had quite a few beautiful, happy looking paphs, so it's safe to assume he's the expert and know what he's...

Paph in coconut...fiber?

I bought my first paph at an orchid show last Saturday. A beautiful Paph. Pleasant Surprise that's blooming as I type this. It's potted in, I think, coconut fiber. It's really dense, almost like...

I'm with Rosie! I'm going to an orchid show in a week, and a paph is on my wishlist! I'm so glad I read this ahead of time. That hours of fretting and worrying avoided!

Should I also use this amount of fertilizer on my dehydrated rescue orchids that haven't shown new growth yet, or should I hold off on the fertilizer until they're more established?

Ross, I should clarify. If I followed the directions on the fertilizer, I would only get 53 ppm. I'm wondering whether it's okay to double what the directions tell me to use. I don't want to...

Nitrogen ppm in fertilizer.

So I've been reading that 125 ppm nitrogen is a fairly good amount to have in orchid fertilizer. I know that's a rough, general number, but that's the one I'm kind of shooting for. According to the...

Perhaps try just leaving the bottom open first, and see if that works. And if you still have mold problems, I'd cut a couple of small holes in it. That's what I did when I used that method, and my...

It looks like the bag might be partway sealed on the bottom? I would leave that open and loosely tent the bag around the plant, maybe even cut some holes in the bag to allow for more airflow.

Evergreen dendrobium losing leaves

Roots aren't looking too hot.

I've been wanting to try S/H, so I thought my phal would be a good candidate. I rescued it from root rot, so not only were there new roots growing, but the old roots were used to being wet. It's...
