bark chip in crown
It's too tight a place to get it out with teasers
I meant tweasers -- or how does one spell that? My spell checker corrected it to teasers. Joanna "J Fortuna" wrote in message news:zlgdg.10232$kR6.955@trnddc05... I have a problem: one of my orchids fell over and bark chips flew all over the place, including into the crown of another Phal orchid (that was located on a shelf below the one that fell over), and now I can't get the bark chip out of the crown. Will this affect leaf growth? Or should the Phal new leaves be strong enough to dislodge the bark piece when the time comes? How important is it that I get this chip out of there? If it is important, how do I do it? It's too tight a place to get it out with teasers, and I also tried shaking the plant while upside down and that did not dislodge it either. Thanks, Joanna |

I have been known to tape a Soda Straw into one of those vacuum plastic
nozzles to retrieve small screws and such. Joe T Baytown |

Joanna,
How about a little Elmers glue on the end of a toothpick? Let it dry a little to get extra sticky if needed. You might be able to just flick it out with the tooth pick without glue.

A toothpick would be my weapon of choice, too.

I have sometimes found that tipping the plant and blowing into the crown
will dislodge such things. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Artwork, Books and Lots of Free Info! "Diana Kulaga" wrote in message . .. A toothpick would be my weapon of choice, too. *Tweezers*, LOL! Diana |
