[OGD] catch roots / trash basket

2005-04-03 Thread Wolfgang H. Bandisch
Ok, trash basket is another good name for that particular feature. The species much larger 'brother', Grammatophyllum speciosum var. papuana forms such large trash baskets that they are referred to here as 'eagle nests'. Wolfgang H. Bandisch - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED

constricted in a pot and therefore growing that species in a large basket is recommended. Then the blooms will develop! The species is often found on trees overhanging the sea (like in ocean). Wolfgang H. Bandisch - Original Message - From: Barbara [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: orchids@orchidguide.com
