I don't think any of my orchids have a problem with my slightly random
watering system, other than when they get accidentally lost and left
unwatered for rather a long time.

Ours are in a centrally heated living room and get watered once a
week and occasionally less.


Dendrobium, or something else?


My wife who bought them says yes Denrobium. I'm not so sure. The local
growers grow Cymbidium. The orchids that we have are white.

Change of Orchid
In Lidl today they have just had Ludisia (Jewel orchid) in, nice plants,
I'm trying 2 though I have never seen them before.
