I think if you love orchids, then you put up with their sometimes
untidy nature, lopsidedness and aerial roots being the main gripe.

Yes I love them, even though I only have 2' I know phals are unfairly
called the 'supermarket orchid. Space is a bit limited and come late
Autumn the porch is home for my carnivores.

I read some forum posts about propagation from seed using flasks etc.
Problem is, what happens if you end up with 200 Phalenopsis :-)

There may be case for propping the more exotic types. You could aim for
200 and end up with 2 or 3. A much more manageable number :-

I'll leave propagation to the geeks :-)


Nice link.
