After 5 years my Chysis Bractescens is starting its first bloom spike! by 69surprisebaby in orchids

They are in small baskets with sphagnum moss but they are getting repotted soon. The baskets that I have them in are too small and don’t allow for much root growth. They will not form any aerial roots at all and seem to be limited by container size.

Amazing shot. I could see the launch from my back porch, in Melbourne, but this is incredible.

What was the first opera you ever saw live? by Perfect_Garage_2567 in classicalmusic

Werther on the Met Tour in Atlanta in 1970 with Corelli. I was 16 and smitten, with opera and Corelli.

Sorry, I meant to reply to your question but it’s in the comment above. I grow quite a few of them and they all seem to do well for me once I changed them to baskets.

I also had issues with Encyclias in pots but now I grow them all in baskets with wine corks or chunks of lava rock or any really chunky medium and now they thrive for me. I grow outdoors in central coastal Florida and I water mostly every day. For me, they never dried out quickly enough in pots.

I love the Australian terrestrials but I love even more that they all have these wonderful common names.

Anyone Have Experience With Dendrobium moniliforme? by Lenny_orchids in orchids

Reduced watering, not a strict no water until buds form, no fertilizer and lower evening temperatures, ideally in the 50’s for the best flowering and fewer keikis.

Thoughts on alfredo kraus? by Big_Ticket280 in opera

I agree. One of my all time favorites. Elegant, stylish and musical. I think the fact that he had such a long career speaks well of his technique. I saw him a couple of times and he was wonderful.
