How to grow Calanthe orchids: deciduous and evergreen types!

Описание к видео How to grow Calanthe orchids: deciduous and evergreen types!

This week Plant Lovers I received a division of a terrestrial Calanthe orchid and thought it might be a good reason to check up on my other Calanthe orchids, explore the two main types: deciduous and evergreen, and pot up my new one! These orchids are very easy to grow and get to flower - well, the evergreen ones are! But they do have completely different potting needs to most other orchids! We'll also go on a little field trip to tropical Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef where I spotted the native Calanthe growing. The orchids we look at in this video are:
Calanthe aristulifera - quite a rare slow grower from Japan
Calanthe australasica - the native Calanthe I saw growing in the wild
Calanthe discolor - the more common very widely spread Calanthe
Calanthe cardioglossa - a warm growing deciduous type
UPDATE: some clever viewers have pointed out that the orchid I spotted growing is moist likely Geodorum pictum!
