thanks
Over a month ago I had a lot problems with my plants. Now everyone seems to grow like crazy. Here are few pointers I have noticed growing orchids in viv.
Air circulation! As much as possible. Keeps mold away. But remember circulation not air out and air in, it just kills the plants.
Less water, much less water. When you think now would be a good day to water wait one, or even too. As long as the humidity is high, plants will thrive. I water maybe 2 times a week and I dont have any potting material (spaghum moss) for the drier ones and only little for the ones that need water more often.
High, really high humidity. I keep it between 85 and 90%. But remember, you have to have a heavy air circulation to keep mold away, I use a house hold fogger. I prefer it over misting system because it is easy to adjust an it really just moists the air.
Most inportant to get those lovely ones to bloom. Low night temps. Thanks to Finnish winter my plants get cold air at night and they just love it. 2 of my potential 3 paphs are developing now spikes. 2 of my potential 5 dens do the same, But what's the best most of the plants are developing lots and lots of new growth and roots.
I just want to thank you all guys from helping. It didn't need so much change, but the result is just crazy!
