Dendrobiums
Last week in Tesco I came across this Dendrobium, a change from all the
white they have been selling http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...ps90a8a6fb.jpg At £8.00 I had to have it especially when I saw the base http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...ps9976299c.jpg It has 7 new stems growing away well. Well how could I leave it to the mercy of Tesco? All my dendrobiums are throwing new shoots, and a few of my other orchids are throwing new flower stems. I know they say dendrobiums like to be pot bound, but instinct tells me that with that many new shoots it should be repotted up a size or two, it's in a 4inch pot at present.

David @ a warm and bright side of Swansea Bay That's lovely, David, and very good of you to rescue it. Debdrobiums always die on me, sometimes it just takes a bit longer, but the effect is the same :~(. Hope yours does well for you. -- Spider. On high ground in SE London gardening on heavy clay |
