needs to try and establish why it did not 
flower. It could just be that it is a shy flow- 
erer. If so consider culling it and replacing 
it with a more free flowering variety. Go 
through all the steps detailed previously, 
and hope it improves it’s flowering in the 
future, but keep records of its non perfor-

discard it. Don’t try to sell it or give it to 
Rootbound 
someone else. 
c. Plants which previously were not 
large enough to flower, should be potted 
on into bigger pots, and placed in a good 
position in the growing area. If the grower 
has selected new varieties well, these 
could be the new stars of your collection, 
and give you a good chance of winning a 
major prize at a show. Treat them as well

Orchids in early 2006 through establishing trials with 
various commercial orchid growers and via the members 
of anumber of Orchid clubs throughout Australia. 
Success in these trials has resulted in Strike Back for 
Orchids being recommended and endorsed by the 
Cymbidium Orchid Club of SA, the Cymbidium Club of 
Australia and the Cymbidium Orchid Society of Victoria. 
Strike Back for Orchids is an organic based, chemically 
boosted fertiliser, specifically developed to enhance 
the growth and flower development of orchids. It is a 
complete orchid fertiliser and it’s all you’ll ever need.

lucky to get a good one, it could be the start 
of a special time for you. 
Make sure all plants are not over- 
crowded. All plants expected to flower in 
the oncoming season, should be positioned 
at least a pot diameter, away from it’s 
neighbour.
