Orchids ezpz

Raven · 07-22-2008, 04:33 AM

I've got about 16 varities of orchids that I raise. I buy them small, and grow them.This one I got while in Maui,the bloom is about 4in across. I've found an easy way to raise,bloom and split them. I mix orchid mix 50/50 with a good potting soil and plant them in quart size pots. They grow like crazy.Every time they get watered,once a week they get a shot of orchid food. They do best for me on a north faceing enviroment.

The softer side of Denny.

I need to get by the beach house and see these, I'd be interested in getting some tutoring, I've never done well with orchids...

Stop by,as long as they're not in bloom,I can split them. They're ez once you learn how

Maybe a Fly Tying / Gardening night is warranted...

My wife would certainly like to have a cutting and maybe a lesson.

Nice. Ill second the north facing environment. We kept getting them and killing them until we bought the new house and put them on the shaded north facing patio. Now we cant kill them.
