Default Is it just me?

Repotted most of my Pleione orchids today, yes I know it's late, but what
really hurts me is throwing perfectly good pseudobulbs of P. formosana on
the compost heap because the plants have increased so well. And that's
after I've potted 80+ of P. formosana and P."Shantung" up into a double
sized seed tray!
I hate throwing away good plants simply because I have too many.


Charity Shop?
W.I.?
Neighbours?
Post Card in the local shop window?

I feel sure someone in your area could put them to good use

Possible, but they are a very specialised alpine orchid so unless I can find
an alpine grower or an experienced orchid grower that wishes to try their
hand at them I might as well throw them on the compost heap.
