    Be sure to check out the Orchid Genus List here on OrchidTalk. If you find something missing, please let me know and I will get it added.

    I agree!! I have about 7 now in water culture...its really fun!!! Its just that most of mine don't fit in pretty vases, so I had to use my SH containers and put tape over the holes so the water doesn't come out, LOL...

    I am growing some orchids in Western Australia as well. I'll try the water culture and see what kind of results I get.

    Miki you said you grow yours on a window sill, what direction does it face?

    Thanks,

    Shaun

    I have 3 phals that I'm going to put to water culture. 1 lost all its leaves through top rot. 1 has only 2 leaves with the top one missing and the other one was just a sorry individual. Until I read these posts, I didnt know too much about water culture so they were in water 24 hrs then left to dry 5 days. Didnt really expect much, but all 3 are showing new root stubs. So now I will put them in water and leave them and see how we go. Will try and post photo as they are now. Thanks for all the info peoples. Most appreciated.

    Juliet, these look fabulous!!! Wow! I've recently started full water culture too. I still have a cat from the last WTC orchid show. I should put that one in water too. So far I have an oncidium in a Goldenberg Peanut Chew container. It is doing great and is flowering. The root system is amazing. At work I have three phals in full water and they are doing well. Two of them are flowering in their cups of water. good job!!!
