The original Ortho book was a great book for any orchid grower. It was
filled with information on media, temperature, water, humidity, fertilizer,
pots, diseases, pests, and kinds of orchids you can grow in your home. The

Hi Iris,
Just curious of what leads to your opinion "...bonsai book is even worse

Before you massacre Griesbach for what he supposedly said, check with him
first. Anyone who has had several articles written about them knows that

While discussing the semi-hydroponic method of growing orchids with a friend
he mentioned an article (maybe from an old WOC proceedings?) on a study
which determined that epiphytic roots didn't uptake nutrients until they
