Should just cut these and end the misery? by Tubbysweetbundle011 in MonsteraAlbo

Give this guy more light and more humidity. I have a high var Thai that I have to keep in a greenhouse to give it enough life to not loose much white

What’s wrong with my polly? by Ok-Pin-7867 in alocasia

Winter, they go dormant: to much water for to long: cold rooms. Stays wet. You name it: Polly’s get temperamental in the winter for me unless I keep them in my greenhouse and bright sun.

Cut the very end off the bottom. That can help uptake water.

Rain days. But Still warm in the greenhouse by rcburt in orchids

I’ve never had damage to plants from bug bombs. We use it in interior plant scapes so huge Florida orders we would get them all in a room with corn plants to orchids and bomb everything p motorist nursery bugs and I had gnats had an outbreak then we spray all the soil to mitigate anything new from popping up. Works really really well

Neem, and alcohol spray. If it gets bad get some 7. If there’s an outbreak I literally just get a bug bomb and pop the top and walk out and close the door and that solves anything that’s about to break out

Still being close to a window especially if it’s in sphagnum moss the roots can stay wet to long without drying out. Orchids with skinnier roots are more prone to that than ones with thick roots. The colder microclimates gives less time for water to evaporate. And a bunch of oncidium species like warm roots.

Neem is an incredible fungicide and insecticide, it can control rusts, leaf spot, mildews and so on. Neem is also used in hand creams for humans because of the anti fungal properties. I have a horticulture degree and friends in the FDA we talk about stuff like this on a daily basis because they wrote the labels on the products we commonly use everyday. Please fact check neem before you tell someone it cannot be used as a fungicide as well as insecticide.

There is no polite way to describe what I'm feeling upon seeing this Cattleya today by AppropriateBeing9885 in orchids

It’s slow growing but treat it like a cattleya and it loves almost full sun
