Trichopilia laxa redux
Better shot. Didn't realize this one was fragrant until I went to pull
it out of the growroom in the middle of the day to photograph it. The lights are on at night, so I pulled it out in the middle of its 'night' or dark period. It's night fragrant! Don't know of any other trichos which are, but you'd better believe I'll be checking. The fragrance, a strong one, seems to me primarily jasmine with a slight cinnamon overlay. Very nice! |

Nice shots Tennis. Under what conditions do you grow your Trichopilias?

Cheers ~John I would say intermediate with the proviso that when I can control the temps, I try to keep the highs in the low to mid seventies. Outdoors in the summer, they get what they get here in central Ohio. But some really do prefer it a little cooler than intermediate max temps, especially the nobilis/fragrans group. Constant air movement, seedling mix in plastic pots, and I don't let them get bone dry. They can be prone to rotting in the new growths like lycastes, and I have heard from more than one person that when seen in situ they generally are growing almost horizontally, which would of course help keep water out of the new growths. I have yet to experiment with deliberate dry seasons as my conditions normally run a little drier than I would like. |

Thanks Tennis. Confirms my view having killed a few by rotting them out. I
will try growing them horizontally. Cheers John "tennis maynard" wrote in message . .. John Varigos wrote: Nice shots Tennis. Under what conditions do you grow your Trichopilias?
