I have just come back from a few days with Dorothy and Ted Green and I have to say his plants are well grown and really beautiful!!! Here is a photo of H. kanyukamariana (on the right) and H. kastelbergii on the left, growing on their back lanai with full sun until about 1 in the afternoon. They also grow very dry...something I am terrified of doing...but am going to change my ways. I have a lot of photos and will post them here...

The cat is sitting on a fiberglass corrugated roofing over his 'shade house' where he grows many of his prize orchids and some hoyas. I know he uses chicken manure on his plants...and MSU. The key is to outdoors where there is good air circulation and to growing dryer... I have seen the difference and am going to tweek my growing too. Of course, many of his plants have been outdoors for many years..... Yes...H. linearis in the middle!!!
