Default It's slow & quiet here, so some more of the same!

Don't apologize, Dave!

I've taken a look at most of the links you forwarded. (You trying to
convert me to a den grower?)

Ray, you're probably sick of my recommending Ross Harvey's Cedarvale
website.
But Ross *does* grow outstanding speciosums. So have a look at
http://www.cedarvaleorchids.com/html...endrobium_.asp

That article is fairly general, covering most of the Dendrocoryne section
of
genus Dendrobium. But it's certainly relevant to speciosumns &
kingianums.

What Ross doesn't mention is that most of his larger speciosums (and they
get
pretty big) are in big saucers, bowls or whatever you want to call them.

Any of the Victorian cohort want to add more?

By the way, it's obvious the poor thing needs repotting. Any suggestions

what to do with it?

I don't want to go with a larger hanging basket, as the weight of the
damned
thing will collapse the greenhouse structure! I was considering a
non-S/H
use of PrimeAgra in a large plastic pot.
