  • I bought this plant a few months ago from a local Morrison's supermarket. It's similar to but not identical to my first, which has much slenderer canes. Because I'd had a big improvement after repotting the first plant, when this one finished flowering - and all the new roots were heading everywhere except into the pot - I thought I'd try again but with a modified media.

    There are so few orchid vids being posted of late, quite honestly, I would post anything you can.

      @@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai my collection suffered while I was ill last year and unable to do my normal maintenance for almost three months. Ruth did her best but she knows nothing about orchids and I’ve lost quite a few but most are now stable, at least, and some are reviving. I’ll bear your comment in mind, though. I just thought umpteen routine repotting vids wouldn’t attract anyone.

    I had several, some I can't replace. They all dropped their leaves. No idea why, I still have some other species that are doing so so. Maybe try them in dirt next time they are after all dirt orchids

      @@YnseSchaap as I said in the video, they’re supposed to be related to Cattleyas but seem to like damper roots and seem happy with less heat and light than you’d expect. Spraying definitely helps the exposed areas of the roots, which can grow from almost anywhere on a cane.
