Orchis Hardy Miniture Butterflywings

http://www.thompson-morgan.com/plants1/product/p86102/1.html

Hello!

I have purchased the above on a bit of an impulse (only wanted a few packets of seeds) however given the price I thought I'd give it a go.

I know orchid generaly grow in bark, theses however state that they will survive in a border... so will normal soil/compost be ok do you think?

Thanks

Roger

 

Excellent thanks!

 

Hi Roger. Sorry to bring this old post up but it came up in a search and I was just wondering if you'd received the orchid tubers yet and, if so, what they were like and how they're doing?

Thanks,

Iain

 

Yeah they arrived at the weekend.

Potted them up into some fine orchid compost and they are currently sat on the windowsill.

Curiosity got the better of me so i dug one up to see if it was growing, and it seems to be shooting from the bulb.

Cant wait for these to grow!
