Your web site is very nice and easy to get around in. I've only been growing orchids for about 8 months but one thing I look for now a days, is what the whole plant looks like. I've got a couple of cattleya's that look like a tornado hit them. All twisted and growing every which way. Pretty flowers but not pretty enough to enable me to like looking at the plant everyday. One I have is |
| Thanks for the Photo Lori! You're growing her beautifully!! |
The African violet you gave me for my wife is still blooming. Thanks much, she is quite happy with it. It sparked her interest in violets to the point that she purchased 7 plants. Pete |
wife we'll be carrying more African Violets in the very near future - just as soon as we can fine the time to post them to our store web site! |
from orchidenterprise!! So, my idea would be for you to put a picture of the plant along with the flower picture or the whole plant in bloom. Maybe also mention the approximate height the plant is expected to get. Most experienced people probably already know these things but us greenhorns don't. I'm not sure if this would help your sales or not but I thought I'd see what you thought about it. Thanks for your time. A happy customer, Lori |
have two pictures for every plant we sell. We'll try and put a picture of the flower above the description and the little photo beside the description (called the insert) will be another photo of either the plant for sale, or what the plant will look like when fully grown. We'd like to post a lot more information on each plant too, as you suggest, but time is our enemy. Ideally we'd like to list the flower size, plant hight, say if there is a fragrance or not, how long the flowers last and other such stuff, but we simply don't have the time. We've seen other web sites that do list a lot more information but had found them to be rather cumbersome. We're trying to keep information brief to reduce download times too. We also hope that people know that they can send us a quick email and we try to be prompt with answers to any questions our customers might have. We're here to help. |

Greetings Lohna!, I like to use plastic pots. The roots of your plants have less of a tendency to stick to the sides of the pot. I end up damaging the roots of plants in clay pots because they simply won't release themselves without breaking. Use the size pot that the roots will fit into comfortably and still allow room for mix to surround the roots. You're better under-potting than over-potting. Also, be sure to re-pot every year. Keep the mix fresh and clean. The bacteria and fungus that breaks down the mix, can infect the roots and eventually rot the roots. That's why it's so important to re-pot every year. I don't know what kind of Oncidium you are re-potting, but you want to use a mix that compliments the roots. Generally speaking, smaller roots need a smaller mix and larger roots need a larger mix. I hope this helps - Ken |
