(ISBN1-84309-209-3) Orchids a practical handbook by Brian & Willma
Ritterhausan on page44. My objection to Catch roots, Trash roots etc. is that
all orchid roots gather deteritous of varying types to feed the plant. I was

Regarding the "function" of the upright roots, that really is still
open for investigation. What benefits the orchid may receive from
secondary functions seemly remains only at the speculative stage. The
nutrient acquisition potential of these roots is likely not different
from other roots.

under the bench after some shadehouse re-organising. One had 'catch roots'
starting in one corner of the square pot, nothing on the others.
