I've been growing some of these Utrics for approximately 1.5 years (yup - a noob) and have already gone through multiple trials & tribulations. Following some discussions with a grower on another forum (& a few on Terra), we thought it would be a good idea to start a discussion thread on the Orchidioides - a place where we can share what works for each of us, what hasn't panned out, ideas to try, pics of our plants (setups, flowers and foliage), threads &/or websites & whatever else might turn up....so pretty much anything goes ... With some luck, we might even get some of the experienced growers to chime in ... It would also be interesting to know what species people are growing now (& have grown in the past).
