One of my sons graduated from Binghamton University and is now a grad student at Cornell. When I was very young, we lived in Endicott! Beautiful...
Hey Bluewing - how far upstate are you? I'm in Dutchess County and am sick of the cold and snow, too. Nice looking plants!
I love my tropical cacti, and often let them become quite root bound. During spring, I tend to remove some of the segments at the end of the...
Hi Clay - I live across the Hudson from you in Dutchess County (East Fishkill).
If she decides to repot, do not go much larger than the current sized pot. It might keep too much moisture in the soil and lead to root rot.
Beeker, I have added a new album on my profile called "Repotting An Orchid". Go there to see some of the pictures of roots and some of the things...
Oh dear. Those roots do not look very good. If they feel soft, mushy or dry and brittle, they are probably not viable. Any that are good will...
It really is difficult to diagnose a problem without a photo. It could be that the plant has a bacterial problem and/or some type of cultural...
Our weather has been all over the place lately! From record-breaking snow late last month that produced power outages and tree/plant damage to...
If you do mist the plant, be sure to do it early in the day. Never let any water stand in the crotch of the leaves as this contributes to rot....
Pictures are usually very helpful so we can see exactly what you are talking about. Phals seem to like a larger sized mix than what I have found...

I agree with Kay - a rubber tree doesn't need a succulent mix. However, I am a big fan of amending the soils available to us from the retailers....
What a pretty den! The blooms almost look like a cattleya.
That is a LOT of snow! I have no idea of our totals thus far, and just hope whatever it turns out to be will be the last of it.:fingerscrossed:...
Thanks, MaryAnn. Right now we are hoping the wind doesn't pick up. There are so many broken limbs dangling from the trees that it could delay...
Could you send some of that nicer weather my way? Day#3 and still no power - haven't seen any line crews in the area so they haven't even...
I don't use any cases, but would love to eventually do this. The whole effect is just gorgeous. Maybe someday... The local orchid society is...
Drissell: Generally, paphs will bloom in the spring to early summer but it really depends on the cultivar. If they have formed baby plants, you...
Ooops! The photo didn't make it. I'll try again: [img] cymbidium orchid ( photo / image / picture from plantgoddess's Garden )
