What's the difference in growing orchids indoors in Florida or Italy OR
Kansas? Garland "K Barrett" wrote in message news:eHX3d.131642$3l3.35870@attbi_s03... Forgive me, but John lives in Florida and you live in Italy. Why do you think you can grow your orchid like he does? K Barrett "Reka" wrote in message ... Thanks, John. Now how do you get it off the frigging mount, or shall I just bury the whole mount in the bark? I don't have a basket, but a net pot would probably do okay, I guess. -- Reka This is LIFE!

This allows it to drain quickly, but not dry out as fast as a mount. I water mine twice a week and it is in 60% humidity. It has grown very well, but has yet to bloom. It seems that it is now blooming size and hopefully will bloom next spring. Although mounts duplicate natural growing conditions, I have not had much success with mounts and have moved nearly everything to pots. I have an Encyclia bractescens on a mount that does extremely well - weed like perhaps, but I have killed or "maimed" nearly everything else on a mount... John "Reka" wrote in message ... Okay, I am not doing well with my pumila on a cork mount. I am a windowsill grower. Can anyone suggest anything with lower maintenance like SH or something? I have to water everything at the kitchen sink, and hand watering four to five mounts once or twice a day is too time consuming. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
