Hi everyone back again after a time with another beginner's query.

Will a section which has dropped off a Jewel orchid root if I plant it?
It is about 8"long, has calloused on the end and there are about 4
obvious 'sections'
along the stem if I need to cut it.
I have been told it will root in water .

It is the jewel orchid with the very dark green velvety leaves with pink
edges and stripes, and small white flowers on pink stems.

Any advice welcome

Gramma

Lay if flat on damp sphagnum and it will root fine. They are surface
wanderers, so don't plant it deeply.

The Sarc. roseus and Vascotylis Thai skies which you show on your web site -
are they really that blue??

I googled the Sarc. Roseus and most of them in Oz seem to come up a pink
colour

The photo of the sarco is quite true to the colors - on my monitor, that is.
The vasco is a bit bluer that reality.

Is it possible the colour would be governed by conditions?

Unfortunately we are not allowed to import plants but
I'd love to get one of the sarc if I could get a blue one..

Will ask around our suppliers
