Curly ghost orchids
I have had a look at pictures on the web (Mick's site, of course) of
ghost orchids in flasks and out of them. The ones I got hold of were mostly spiral-formed in the flasks, which I can understand. They were sort of cramped in there. They are now living in a patch of lichen until they get a reasonable bulk - then I'll try to mount some of them and see if they like it in my bathroom. Should be humid and warm enough there, I'll put in some extra lights. However, they still seem to grow in spirals, which Mick's specimens don't do if I am to judge by the pictures. Is this something these orchids like to do? I'll have a hard time mounting something that looks like a corkscrew by Escher. Geir |

Curly ghost orchids
Hi, Geir,
I would guess that they would grow inside providing you mist them several times a day. However, if you are growing them inside, you might opt to get a small aquarium tank. .. . .

Curly ghost orchids
I received a flask a month ago and the was no spiralling at all. A few
slightly curved roots, but nothing resembling a spiral either in or out of flask. I wonder if there was some undesireable component (or proportion) in the agar to make them react that way. Maybe they'll outgrow it. Gary "Geir Harris Hedemark" wrote in message ... I have had a look at pictures on the web (Mick's site, of course) of ghost orchids in flasks and out of them.
