Eria albidotomentosa [Bl] Lindl.1830 by Neville Bone I obtained this orchid in June 2005 as mature plant. I now have 2 plants one growing  in my cool glass house and one growing under 50% shade cloth in the bush house.  Both seem to be doing equally as well as each other. They are both potted in a mix of  perlite & peat (coco husk peat) at the rate of 2 to 1. they are both potted in seedling  /saucer trays about 5cm deep. The watering is 3 times a week in summer & 2 times a  week in winter on sunny days. The fertiliser has been once a week (but not at the  moment as my fertiliser equipment has broken). This is the first flowering for me in 4  years & I am very pleased with the result, some of the largest & most colourful  flowers in the Earia family. According to the literature I have it has a musky sent,  grows as an epiphyte or terrestrial in light shade in the evergreen forests of South East  Asia, & it flowers in the autumn, carrying up to 15 flowers.  Dendrobium bracteosum  Dendrobium canaliculatum Dendrobium hodgkinsonii Dendrobium ruckeri Dendrobium williamsonii Dimerandra buenaventurae Eria albidotomentosa Eria lobata Galeandra dives Hoffmannseggella fournieri Isabelia pulchella More Articles
