Rhynchostylis care questions
I'll check out the web site and compare my plant to the photos. Thanks,
Kenni! Sarah "Kenni Judd" wrote in message .. . Sarah: If the leaves are wide and thick, and esp. if the plant is spiking or flowering now, it's probably gigantea. Rhy. coelestis is a summer-bloomer and looks more like a "typical" vanda; retusa is far less common. I suspect you can find pics of all 3 on Jay Pfahl's Orchid Encyclopedia site and ID it, even if it's not in bloom. Assuming it's gigantea: we give these a lot less light than most of our vandaceous, and they are also one of the few vandaceous that we sometimes pot, rather than leaving bare in the basket. They will grow either way here, but the potted ones seem to do a little better. Our potting medium is coarse [big chunks] lava rock with a bit of coconut fiber layered in. -- Kenni Judd Juno Beach Orchids http://www.jborchids.com "Sarah Huff" wrote in message ... I wish I knew. It doesn't have a tag. "Kenni Judd" wrote in message ... Which Rhynchostylis? We treat gigantea rather differently than we treat coelestis, and haven't yet tried retusa. |
