HOUSEPLANTSHow to Grow Orchids Indoors
Orchids are the exotic aristocrats of the flower world and can make themselves comfortable in almost any home
Full StoryCan it be grown this way? I emailed them, but no response! This is my first purchase from them. The plants (also purchased a catt) are very healthy, both in bud.
I'm concerned about the vandea, much of the LR was crushed to size of coarse sand, so I shook it out of it's 6" plastic pot. Out came the plant also! I had expected the roots to be attached to the pot. There are lots of healthy roots and I transferred it to a 6" mesh pot and put the larger pieces of lava rock back into the pot.
I would love to be successful with vandas and if they can be grown in a pot with lava rock, it might work for me. Any thoughts? TIA.
