Miniature orchids?
"Kenni Judd" wrote in message
... Hwra. Lava Burst 'Puanani' -- starts blooming in the compot, can stay in a 2" pot for years, blooms its head off in bright light, still blooms 2 or more times a year in phal shade ... Thanks! That *is* nice! It's gone _right_ onto the list. On the non-mini's, I was planning to put 1 or 2 (eventually!) less delicate types in each room... the phal. is on the dining/living room table with tree-filtered sunlight in the mornings, and indirect-tree-filtered sunlight in the afternoons. It's only been here 3 days, but certainly hasn't gone into shock or anything. The oncidium I may buy tomorrow is destined for the warm (at this time of year) and bright (in the afternoon) bedroom, over by the anthurium because that also likes lots of light but fries quickly in direct sunlight. That room really won't be much of a problem, but the trouble is, everything ends up gravitating into that room, from the schefflera to the mother-in-law's-tongue to the maranta (guess who rescues the plants nobody wants when they move, around here? I got all the plants from a coffeeshop that went out of business, too, and farmed them out to friends with better light, but kept the dracaena reflexa and the pothos and they've just been going to town these last couple of years). We have a very dark and gloomy office, from a plant's point of view, and a shady living room. It seems to me that some orchids might even like my husband's office, there in the gloom, but he thinks Orchids Die without Religiously Specific Conditions and that nothing can ever live in there with him... any suggestions from the group on what I might prove him wrong with? And for that matter, just to dream here, is there even a single orchid which can live outdoors through a freezing winter on a windy balcony? Yeah, I know, ha, ha. --Katrina --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.497 / Virus Database: 296 - Release Date: 7/4/03 |
