ORCHID NOTES

ae old school orchid grower nev- 
er feeds his plants except by 
giving them new compost from time 
to time. Manure water, & commer- 
cial fertilizer solutions are sacriledge 
to him. But times are changing and 
we are finding more and more that 
many orchids do better if fed and 
some of them respond wonderfully to 
heavy feeding.

to grow his plants in more shade than 
the more modern grower hence, even
