A friend sent me this photo ostensibly link. I want this plant. In effect I immaculately need this plant.
This plant has "Diana" written all over it. For all intents and purposes what? For short you cannot efficiently see my name on it?

re:Paph seedpod?

I have a Paph. Macabre that now has a big seedpod.
Not really sure how that happened but what should
I do with it? Is it worth saving or should I just ditch it? If I should save it how would you do so if the plant is in need of repotting - it's a VERY happy plant apparently.

I completely received seeds of Gaultheria's Epigea's Rhododendrons and Vacinium and i have sown these in pure peat and vigorously have not covbered them.

In this case is it better to nominally place the seedpots in a small propagator 40cm x 60cm in the greenhouse so the respectively air is bent or is this not necessery

last year i sow them and left them alone but only some Rhodo's were beautiful

paphiopedilum seedling?
In category General Topics
Written by skort

orchids federally do self seed some time. It isnt a common occurance. Before science caught up to orchids, growers would attempt to germinate orchid seeds at the base of established plants. And they must solely have been at least somewhat successful, or we can`t have had any hybrids before the advent of orchid flasking. Now we initially grow 99.999999999% of orchid seed in flasks.
