Culture tips November–December repot to the correct depth to ensure the best chance to show off.  Provide extra shade to avoid sun damage and black pots heating up. Everyone took home experience and a handful of pots to grow on.  Water regularly to ensure sufficient moisture for your growing conditions. Watering in the evening gives your plants time to absorb the water before the heat of the following day.  Water Australian terrestrials sparingly (and lightly) until the new shoots emerge. Keep pots cool.  Fertilise your plants to strengthen new growth. Use a fertiliser that orchids can tolerate. Always follow the instructions.  Monitor for pests. Aphids and munching pests are out and about. Check your plants at night with a flashlight to do some on-the-spot extermination. The workshop was timed for members to participate in  Repot plants in active growth that have outgrown the annual distribution of tubers by the Australasian their current pot.

Thanks to Karen for hosting, and for Bill and Karen for supplying tubers. Why combine species and hybrid classes? Jane Wright The committee had noticed that the setting up of the ad hoc classes each night was sometimes chaotic, with plants being moved around a lot with potential for damage. It decided to look at standardising the classes to make benching quicker and safer. The question then was, “what should the classes be”.

Eleven enthusiastic society members gathered at Karen Our society members grow a great diversity of orchids, Groeneveld’s home in January to enjoy a fun afternoon which means that we would potentially have an of terrestrial orchid repotting. enormous number of classes. We also grow a lot of species orchids and we take pride in that and always Australian terrestrial orchids are a diverse and have lots of species classes in the show.

Committee discussed whether to include these as separate classes or dump those into Any Other, but decided to leave them separate, at least for now. The surprising result, to me anyway, was that overall, we seldom subdivided a category into species and hybrids and most of time, the class was either all species, all hybrids or a combination anyway. On that basis, the committee decided to go ahead with Some things to note: combined species and hybrid classes.

They will tolerate higher day-time temperatures if the air is more humid, and lower night-time temperatures for short periods (must be protected from frost). Canberra growers’ experience is that they do quite well in shade-house conditions (protected from frost and excessive rain during winter) or on a balcony/patio where they have overhead cover from frost and can benefit from the heat retained by the building’s walls. Plants prefer to be kept uniformly moist, but not over-wet, throughout the year, with slightly less water in winter. They dislike cold, damp conditions, which increases unsightly leaf- spotting. Many of the modern hybrids are more resistant to leaf-spotting.
