bamboo orchid question
I picked up a couple of staters in hilo and the guy there said you can
grow them in poting mix. I am trying one in bark and one in suppersoil and so far no sprouts but its only been a little over a week. They grow like weeds over on Hawaii and look like they need alot of moisture. Anyone out there had any luck with these? Norm |

Yes they grow like weeds with these factors: High light,warmth,oversized
pot;garden mix medium, lots of water and occasional spray Ed Cormier "Norm" wrote in message . .. I picked up a couple of staters in hilo and the guy there said you can grow them in poting mix.

bamboo orchid question
I put 5 in potting soil mix and had 3 rot. I salvaged the other 2, soaked in
physan and replanted in a coir/ sponge rock mix. They didn't rot, but they really didn't grow well either until I supplimented with micronutrients. Also, in growth, they seem to like a lot of fertilizer. Now they're growing like the Hawaiian weeds. I think that most potting mixes are not airy enough which contributes to their rotting and early demise. Gary "Norm" wrote in message . ..

Yes. Unfortunately (for you, since it won't help you much), I live in Hawaii so do nothing special for them. Tracey |

I don't grow them. What I've heard from local customers is mixed success
with established plants, no luck at all with the dry bulbs one gets from mail order catalogues. -- Kenni Judd Juno Beach Orchids http://www.jborchids.com "Tracey" wrote in message ...
