Schom. lyonsii culture
 

All,

At our OS meeting on Tuesday I found myself the lucky winner of both an
equitant Oncidium and a five pseudobulb division of Schom. lyonsii. I've
been flirting with Schoms for a year or so, and now here one is.

From what I have been able to dig up, this will be a big plant with
extremely tall spikes (pretty flower, too). So far, the advice I have been
given on Schoms is high light, lots of water, and feed with the Vandas. I
have read that mounting is a good idea, but these guys get so big, and also
mounts are hard to show.

How about potted in Aliflor, or my favorite Catt mix, river rock and
Aliflor? What say you all?

Golly, it's good to be thinking about something other than insurance
adjusters and broken fingers!

TIA

Diana

Hey Di, Believe it or not, I am a collector of Schomburgkias so
if it is too much for you to handle, you can send it my way. *g*
I have Schomburgkia splendida just opening & have taken a couple of
pics for you.
It is mounted & my hubby is holding it to show the size,
posting over @ abpo.

Hi !

I`ve also recently bought Schomburgkia splendida, but I don`t really know
how to take care of it, eg. how to treat it during the winter time, so if
you could also send mi some pictures and maybe some info also I would
greatly aprreciate it :)))

greetings from Poland

Hi there Samaki, I can just tell you how my plant grows here in
S.Calif. It is in high light in the greenhouse, water once a week & more in
summer. I treat it the same as my Cattleyas.
Schomburgkia splendida
From J. Pfahl's site:-
http://www.orchidspecies.com/indexqrsel.htm
They like to be on a large wood mount and need water while in active growth
and like high light to ensure blooming which generally is in the spring
through summer.

Ps..for pics go to alt.binaries.pictures.orchids
