I'm all for small businesses making money, but wouldn't selling it for less than you'd really like be better than just shutting it down and getting nothing?

Personally, I wish the AOS would buy it and unify it with their stuff.

Terry. I cannot answer that, but the old deal was a $99 annual upgrade, which usually included 1 or 2 updates.

Version 20.0 is now available. It is a complete reinstallation with updated data, not an update to 9.0 $250.

I got rid of them before moving, but grew a number of zygos and their intergeneric crosses in semi-hydro culture, alongside my paphs up in PA.

Yes, that and v. Kurstaki appear to be effective.

Each beneficial microbe has its own byproducts and it is those that affect the plant and the rhizosphere. The more species used, the broader the spectrum of protection. Not only do some live on roots and leaves, they can live within them and the potting media, as well. Back in 2013, I was...

If using the BT treatment, I have found no need to also use an insecticide. With no larvae maturing into adults that can lay eggs, the population quickly dies out. The complete life cycle is only about 2-4 weeks.

Nice looking compot. I’d definitely be separating those, probably individuals for the larger ones and smaller compots for the smaller seedlings.

Unfortunately, most insecticides do not affect eggs or larvae in the least. That's why multiple, weekly treatments are recommended, so that the adults - including the newly matured ones - can be killed before they have a chance to reproduce.

I’m sure it would be fine, as it’s done well for me in soppy sphagnum.

Indeed. Looks a bit like Sorcerer’s Apprentice’s taller uncle. (Hah! Looked it up, it’s SA x Grande, so that was a good guess.) It’s Tate Olson, by the way, not with an “e”.

You need a product that contains the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. Many people buy “Mosquito Dunks” or “Bits”, which contain dormant bacteria, and place them in a jug of water. After a few days, there will be enough of a population to allow you to water with the dispersion. Then refill...

It may have been planted a bit too deeply, so will likely lose that leaf, but don't despair, it otherwise looks OK. Whatever medium you use, is should stay constantly moist (not soppy) and airy.

Agreed

Thinking back, I’m surprised I didn’t get the bug sooner. As a kid, I lived in Linwood NJ, a few blocks from Waldor Orchids. I knew there were greenhouses, but…. We moved to England from there, and my school bus passed Black & Flory every day to and from school. I recall lots of color. We...

I think it needs more water. Taking into account actual usage and transpiration losses, a plant uses roughly 18000 times more water than it does fertilizer to grow.

Welcome aboard, Bailey.

Lately I’ve been buying white 1-quart and 1-gallon plastic buckets from ULINE. Very heavy duty and doing quite well outdoors in UV exposure.
