Growing
Orchids: In nature, orchids which grow on rocks and trees, not on the ground,
are called "epiphytes". They get moisture and nutrients
from rain and dew. Orchids
which grow on or in the ground are called "terrestrials". Growers
use a wide range of materials to simulate these conditions. Working with varying
blends of potting materials can often be tricky. Some ingredients hold
water, others don't. Some deteriorate, some don't. Watering
can be a real a guessing game. And what about nutrients? To be successful
you may have to fiddle with each new plant to get results.
