Phalaenopsis in glass cylinder.
Hi all,
I have today bought two Phalaenopsis from a garden centre on 'end of season' offer, both plants were in tall, clear glass cylinder type pots. I have since cleaned both plants up, refreshing the orchid compost adding a little chopped live sphagnum moss. I have always been under the impression that orchid leaves should always be allowed to grow free and not touch glass etc. for fear of condensation damage. Therefore, do I return my new orchids to their cylinders or not? Advice please! TIA, Plantaganet |

I agree that placing the orchids in glass cylinders could just be a sales gimmick, done mainly to protect the flowers which had long since dried up. Any ideas what I could do with the cylinders? *Perhaps grow filmy ferns in them. P. -- Plantaganet You could try growing vandas if you manage to get a basket and to hang the basket in the cylinder - roots not touching the water. |
