to throw or not to throw, in a few years I have to bring everything indoors, First all the healthy Thriving Orchids come in, than everybody else, but the sick ,weak or scraggly ones get a good look over, most get thrown away, if it was something that was hard to come by and it looks savable why not give it a chance, I had a two leaf piece and I threw it in a small basket and sat it in the palm trees pot, I gave it no care only water that splashed on it when watering the tree, It the Spring time when I put the plants out it had 4 leaves and lots of Roots, it's a nice little plant now but I don't know what it is now, no tag! your plants look lovely, and I hope the small pieces pull through for you! great video
Sorry I'm a little late in replying Denise......haven't been too good recently with recurring vertigo.....had it 14 years ago. you're right it's not much use persevering with unresponsive plants.....it's better to give your time to the good ones.....have a good week ahed a nd take care, Ed.
The slugs caused quite a bit of damage. Hope the dendrobium pulls through. The Phrags are beautiful. The Phragmipedium Carol Kanzer really caught my eye. Thanks for sharing 😊
I believe that dendrobium will do well . Moss held plenty of moisture to encourage new roots , isn’t ?Absolutely love Andeans Fire colour ! Wish you a lovely bright Sunday !

thank you for your lovely comment Claudia....I am hoping that the dendrobium will survive.....have a lovely week ahead,

I stopped nursing plants too long, if they don't want to grow or keep getting worse I bin them (usually divisions or very young plants)
It all comes with the hobby.....and it applies to everyone!!

@@EdsOrchids 😁
Heartbreaking to lose plants but that’s part of the hobby.real life
You're quite right Kathy......and it has to be done......take care and thank you for your comment.
Ed.
No shame throwing them out. I've been getting increasingly brutal with binning plants.
All that comes along with the hobby Michael.....but at a cost eh!.....take care and thank you,
Ed.
Get yourself some slug pellets Ed, perfectly safe within the confines of the greenhouse.
I already do that Michael but they just keep on coming.....take care and thanks for your comment,
Ed.
