The Dendrochilum is quite a display!

The tolumnia are in a few diff medias because I am generally too lazy to change some but my media of choice is small rough aquarium stones, in clay pots, I water or spray every morning. They sit in full (Southern exposure) sun and dry out during the day.

Okay, thanks. I was wondering how you were dealing with making sure they dried out enough. I have mine in tiny pots of spaghnum sitting in a south facing window sill so they dry out very quickly.

I would have thought that sphagnum holds too much moisture.

 

[Erythrone]

Nice plant Eric!!!!!!

I also though that Sphag would be too wet for Tolu. But I bought one plant 2 years ago on Sphagnum moss. And I decided to try do grow it like this for a few years. It grows very well but bears less flowers thant the others Tolumnias (that are on straight Leca). But one plant is not a scientific test!

 

[NYEric]

True but 20-30 is a good test so...

I got 4 diff types of moss from eBay and put them in a potting soil/peat moss mix to propagate.

 

[Ruth]

I'm going to have to try this.

 

[biothanasis]

[likespaphs]

[NYEric]

Nope, I will look later.

Paph dianthum album (I couldn't wait for it to open all the way)

Paph Recovery (album) at least genetically. Now I know why Sam sells "album" albums for twice the price. This came from Doug (Potterychef) on eBay

Paph Stella Lim

I searched others posted here and although mine did the same 2 inflour from each growth thing mentioned by Dot and others(one stunted and the other taller and multiple bud), mine is definitely a greener color. I think the others might by Paph Marilyn Hanson.

 

[Erythrone]
