Crown Rot Prevention in Large Greenhouses

[phraggy]

Cheers for the update Ed. It might not have been exactly thriving in that space of time, but at least its not deteriorated. And no crown rot.

I've been a bit braver with my multis in the last few months - leaving them out overnight more often. Might be my imagination, but they seem to almost get a mini growth spurt after theyve been out. New leaves on a couple, just like your roth, and a roth I just got seems to be enjoying the treatment (no sulky 'no growth' period after the rehoming.)

Tempted to keep them outside all next summer - if we have one, of course.

Hi Chris. Hope all goes well for your multis. I do think that the fresh air and rain are a big advantage for all types of orchids. We must keep in touch next year to compare the effects on our plants for this type of culture. Of course in many parts of the world this will be a natural way of culture -- but certainly not here!!!

Inocuor sounds like an effective product - does anybody know if it's available in Europe?

Ray, would you send it over here?

Thanks,

Alex

Here in Belgium we can buy "Vacciplant" (Edialux) It is a product from Goemar (France).The actif product is laminarine which is extracted out of sea kelp. It causes the plant to turn on its own natural defense systems to fight fungal diseases and bacterial infections.

I don't think it's available over there, and I know that international shipping is quite expensive.

This sounds interesting, I should look into it. Thank you for bringing this up, Brabantia.
