Egret orchids
Anyone had any success with the (very pretty looking) egret orchids that
are advertised in most of the plant catalogues atm? We got 6 either free or 'special offered' with something last year, and they've done very poorly. I think 1 had a recognisable flower (which was a lot smaller than I expected) and the rest the flowers either didn't open or went brown, and now the plants are coated in some kind of aphid. They've been grown in orchid compost (ie, small bark chips) and watered in a similar fashion to my other orchids (slightly more than sparingly, actually) They're dying off now and don't look like they're going to do anything else. Should I throw them, or cut them back and store the little bulby things for anotehr attempt next year? |
