How to grow Phragmipedium orchids with specialist grower Michael J. Coker.

As promised, this week Plant Lovers, another video with Michael J.Coker, President of The Orchid Societies Council of Victoria - https://oscov.asn.au/ And this week we're going to be talking all things Phragmipediums! Which I have to say I've kind of steered clear of after killing one. But after making this video with Michael I MIGHT be tempted to try ...one!

Michael's key tips: plenty of water - use distilled or rain water | regular application of dolomite lime solution | twice weekly fertilising ALL year!

Michael's Ebay handle is BOUTIQUE ORCHIDS and he often sells at the Orchid Species Society of Victoria's sales day and you can find out when that is here: https://oscov.asn.au/

This is one of the fertilisers Michael uses: https://bellarineorchidfarm.com.au/pr...
The other is his father's old recipe!
