Hello Everybody

My name is Pam and I live in the very middle of England.

Today I planted six Habenaria Radiata ( White Egret Orchid ) tubers.
It seems that this orchid originally comes from Japan and apparently likes plenty of water during it's growing period.

I have only had adult orchids 'till now, so I hope that I have got the correct compost and potting proscess right.

Does anyone know how long it takes for this particular orchid to germinate?

Pam

Hi Pam! Good to have you with us! Good luck with your White Egret tubers.
I don't know much about them, as I'm pretty new here myself. You'll get lots of advice here.

Hi Pam! Did you get them from T&M's? I was tempted but read up on them and it said they were tricky. They do look beauutiful. You will get lots of help here. Don't be frightened to ask questions, Judi x
