Hello RGO!
I have a Maxillaria tenuifolia I just repotted into osmunda from it's
original bark substrate. I have read that Maxillaria in general do not
like root disturbance. I waited until I saw new growth before
repotting.
Do any of you have experience with this plant and repotting? Will it
just sulk for a while, or can it have a more drastic reaction?
[My reasoning went like this - "Put Lockhartia into osmunda - went well
.... Maxillaria too? Let's find out!"]
I also have a question about mail ordering, or rather shipping orchids
through the mail. The couple vendors I've brought from used the USPS
and now use FedEx. Browsing online, it seems a common carrier. I
never had a problem with USPS on the receiving end. I would like to
sell some of my orchids, but don't know if I should use USPS or FedEx.
Any comments? I'm only talking a few small plants and only the
domestic US area.
Thanks in advance!

divisions of Pths. sp. cf. groybii! Ya Hoo!
