    Repotting Question

    After soaking and removing from pot, try sloshing it around in a bucket of water. That tends to loosen up the root mass.

    Dendrobium jerdonianum

    Well, that is kind of different for sect. Formosae, the ones I am familiar with are white. Always good to have one's horizons expanded.

    Aquarium house for my flasklings

    I do the same thing, except that I use a 10-gallon tank, a pair of 20W spiral compact fluorescents, and have #3 sponge-roc on the bottom.

    Paph. henryanum

    I've had this plant for 20+ years now, and it's grown quite well for me. This year it's flowering more than a month early.
