Favorite orchid tip?

14 years ago

I love hearing new growing tips and would love to hear yours:)

My favorite one is the product KLN. It is really good for stimulating root growth and you can spray it a lot on your orchids and even soak them in it. It stimulates keikis/roots on vandas too. If you have a vanda in rough shape you can spray it with a KLN solution daily for 2 weeks and it will stimulate root growth and keikis.

Orchid tip: Don't smother your plants with love. They usually do far better with benign neglect.

I get KLN at Tropical Plant Products in Orlando. They sell online but I am extremely lucky because they live 15 minutes from me. It is great because I can get big bags of potting mix and no shipping costs!

Couldn't agree with CJ more: Benign neglect. Don't obsess over every little scratch/black spot/odd looking thing you see about them.
