Hello,
I am a beginner with orchids and grow them in the house in the winter (fortunately I have south and southeast facing windows) and outside during the summer. I have been really lucky with the cattleya and cymbidium hybrids, but I have always wanted to grow species orchids, especially the unusual looking plants that look so interesting in or out of bloom.
I have tried to grow a few of them, but haven't done well, and I wondered if it is possible to grow them without special conditions. I'm interested in
- Dendrobium/Dockrillia cucumerinium (sp?)
- all other Dockrillias.
- Psychopsiella
- Porpax
- Ancistrochilus
- Eria species (there are some with interesting p.bulbs)
Any advice? Of course, first you have to find them, but I have seen a few of them on Ebay recently. Thanks!
