Green stuff on medium
Comments (3)You probably just need to let the sphagnum moss dry out until it gets a bit crunchy to the touch. Phals don't like it sopping wet, although yours sounds fine at this point. On the other hand, growing a Phragmipedium in medium that has a nice layer of moss on top is a good thing--but they like sitting in water....See Morelive moss in orchid pots?
Comments (5)I have traded for Bulbophyllum with a fellow in Washington state. He grows them in a native sphagnum moss which he finds in the hills near his home. Once a year, he tells me, he trecks to a place he discovered and returns with all the moss he can carry. He has a huge collection of Bulbos which he repots in fresh moss once a year. This yearly trip provides him with the moss he needs. I have quite a few plants growing in New Zealand sphagnum moss and occasionally the moss begins to grow. I tried to encourage this but have been unsuccessful. Tom Miranda (spelling ?) who writes irregularly for the AOS magazine told us that if watered with pure RO water WITHOUT fertilizer, SM will grow. One of these days I plan to try this. I also repot all plants in moss once a year and it can get expensive. If your moss is fluffy like sphagnum moss, I would try one plant in it and see how it does. The usual moss found in North America is probably not suitable for orchid culture. Nick...See Moresuggest color for common room?
Comments (4)If you're going to use your couch as a starting point, how about pulling out the Terra Cotta or the Slate Blue color? Also, the dots in your garnite may give you a color that may go with the couch & the kitchen. I cannot tell the exact shades in your couch & the granite. See if you put both (couch & granite) side by side & if you can find a common color. How about Chocolate? The Beige colors are neutral & go with your furniture etc, BUT what a BEIGE world it will be...for me, too much Beige & blah. I couldn't live with everything blended into the walls, window coverings etc....See MoreWhat is a Moss rose?
Comments (0)A Moss rose is a Centifolia that sported many years ago to the same type but one with a green or brown "moss like" sticky growth around the sepals and flower stalks. They bloom in midsummer and have a lovely sweet fragrance. They are the same type bush as the Centifolias....See Morebonsai_moss
