what a mess :(
SuE, thank you so very much! I have a small fan that should work perfectly.
Time has gotten away from me, and I didn't realize that we leave this Sunday for two weeks. I can see I have my work cut out for tomorrow (no extra pots on hand and only one small bag of orchid mix), *and* I've already commissioned a friend to come over daily to keep an eye on things. Where would we be without dear friends? As much as I'd like to pull my hair out over this, there's No doubt I have learned a great deal. Thank all of you Very Much! peace... debbie "Susan Erickson" wrote in message ... On Mon, 3 Feb 2003 12:05:24 -0600, "Deborah F.

We do keep a fan going during the heat of July, but it never occurred to me that it would be necessary during the winter months. I'll surely keep in mind to keep things sterile. So far what damaged leaves that needed to be removed, I did by hand. Probably not a good thing, huh? Thanks for taking the time. I really appreciate it. peace... debbie Debbie - You need to keep the air stirred up in there to circulate the heat you do have. This will help keep the area from having pockets of hot and pockets of cold. So out with the fan. Your Orchids sound much too wet for winter. Most want to dry out between waterings even in the summer. To keep the mix wet all the time causes it to sour and rot faster. Keep the damaged plants out of sun and let them dry out. You need to find out what is going to live. I would take the mix off to find out if the roots are mush. Put the plant and the tag in a clean dry pot to examine again in a day. Spray with Physan to stop fungus rot. SuE http://orchids.legolas.org/gallery/albums.php |
