| Tom, from what I can tell, this term is commonly used in reference to either comparing plants/mushrooms/fungi grown in petri dishes or flasks (enclosed containers) with same grown or the progression to, pots that are open to the atmosphere. I believe it is mostly a laboratory term. Someone can correct me if I'm incorrect..... mike |

| well the three experts have weighted in... it's bogus then... On Ebay, there was a dendrobium for sale and the description for a plant in a two inch pot was that it's best in an open culture. I thought I had missed something there since this definitely was not a flask containing orchids.

| They may be refering to an open mix, like medium bark or some of the other chunky mixes. I, on the other hand have been growing in a closed mix for the last 15 or 20 years. It is 3 parts small perlite to 2 parts Canadian peat. I call it a closed mix because bush snails and mealie bugs can not move around in it, and I do not have nearly incurable problems with these critters as some do. Cynthia |
