| Growing orchids outside?
I went to the library today to check out Orthos All About Orchids again (dont know why I just dont buy it) and I was looking at what other books on orchids they had. I found another one that caught my attention, its Growing Orchids in your garden by Robert G.M. Friend and it got me thinking about what orchids that would grow outdoors here in my area, east TN Zone 7? Has anyone tried growing orchids outside in your area, not just in hanging baskets or pots but mounted to trees, rocks, and in the ground for terrestrial orchids? We have our native paphs here but dont know if they would be easy to purchase.
Another question thats off this topic, is peat moss something good to add to a media mix for phals? I use it for my carnivorous plants but didnt know if it was good for orchids. |
