Renanthera monachica help desperately needed
Putting it under other plants and/or on or near the floor in the GH might do
the trick as a starting point, moving it brighter and brighter over the next several weeks. When I referred to keeping it out of the direct sunlight, I was referring to __when it is in the sphag-n-bag treatment__ as it would literally cook in the small, enclosed space. In the greenhouse, the idea is to transition it to the bright conditions it needs, to avoid burning. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! .. . . . . . . . . . .

I don't think the "sphag-n-bag" idea is a good one unless you can warm it up a lot, but without direct sun. When I got the few I have, they were in similar condition. I put them in wooden slat baskets of coarse charcoal, hung them high in the GH, and forgot about them (except for regular watering along with the rest of my collection). In a few months they were screaming back to life. So do you think if I took it to my mom's little greenhouse it might be okay? She has full south exposure with some green plastic liner on the glass. I could hang it up there but I can't really get it totally out of the sun. I suppose I could hang it off another plant so that it didn't get total direct light but it would still be in bright light. Would it be too bright even with the green liner on the glass? Sorry I am rather dumb but I haven't ever had orchids in Mom's greenhouse before. Thanks. - Sandy |
