I heard Fred Clarke talk on skinnerii. Yes, true alba exists in nature, but not many.

Thanks again for all your help. Again with non native species. My goal is to collect all the native orchids. I'm not sure about the conservation status and I've yet to purchase vanishing beauty. When it comes to Fred Clark if i put some of his hybrids on a tree outside is that a bad idea? I don't think orchids would ever have a negative affect on an ecosystem. Not like lion fish or weeds I know the kuza i think there's even a plant i was told is mislabeled called a Brazilian pepper that negatively affects Florida. I'm trying to be as responsible as I can. I've read teaming with fungi. Is there a good place to learn about orchid mycorrhizal fungi? I want to start flasking seeds. Could I add mycorrhizae to the agar? I also want to start using organic fertilizer either diluted ferments. I think I'll need a ppm meter. Orchids have the relationship with fungi but bacteria and there's no soil with epiphites. I'm assuming lactobassilicus would be beneficial but that's not a nutrient. I know it will help with nutrient lock and harmful bacteria even mold. Fish amino acid diluted is something I want to use. I'd like to be able to ferment flowers one day but I think thats only going to add hormones. Thanks again for all your help korean natural farming for orchids is something I can't find info on. I have seen the wonder videos cinnamon garlic. I think there's a video of someone watering with dragon fruit juice claiming bigger blooms. It all builds down to nutrients unless there's some beneficial bacteria involved we already have the fungi involved.

Brock, please slow down. You have too many ideas in one post and it makes it difficult to have a discussion.

There tons of threads on this forum about flasking, growing orchids outdoors, natural fertilizers, and orchids in nature. I highly reccomend you do some reading. There is so much to learn! And so many knowledgable people when you have questions.

Also if you are going to try some experimental nutrient additives please tell us what you find out!

There are too many orchids in CR to collect them all. Plus they come from different climate zones so you probably couldn't grow them all together.

We welcome you and your enthusiasm!
