called the Cooktown orchid. A Phalaenanthe Dendrobe that does best with
a dry rest during the winter months and a very small pot.
Dend bigibbum var bigibbum purple. The type
form. Differs by having smaller more rounded flowers and a white disk on
the labellum midlobe.
Dend bigibbum superbum compactum. A compact
lithophyte form of the Cooktown orchid. Flowers can be somewhat larger
and of better shape.
Bulbophyllum echinolabium. A Celebes species
with long sepals to 30 cm or more. A large robust growing species.

Culture.
Deflasking Epiphytes.
A novel deflasking method for epiphytes such
as Phalaenopsis, Vanda, Aerides, Aerangis, Oncidiums
and in general those spccies which do not like to
be too wet and require maximum drainage.
Viewing the photo at right, a piece of 100
mm plastic drainage pipe is cut to act as a collar. Over this is stretched
a piece of ladys stocking cut to size and this is then placed inside
a standard 100 mm plastic pot.
Seedlings are removed from a flask, washed clean
and placed in clumps on the stocking.
The community pot can then be placed in a warm humid
spot ( a terrarium is ideal) and the seedlings can be misted more frequently.
Weak fertiliser can be applied at each misting, which
needs to be more frequent than that used for a pot with potting media.
This method is slower than normal, but because of
the growing requirements of the species chosen, achieves better survival
rates.
To protect the seedlings, it is a good idea to use
a humidity crib. A coolite box with two inches of wet sand in the bottom
and a sheet of glass over the top will do, sit the pot of seedlings on
the wet sand. Cling wrap can also be used, with a few holes punched in
it to allow air movement. If a sheet of glass is used, ensure it is not
sealing the top of the box, as some ventilation is needed. A few notches
cut into the box will allow air in.
Most seedlings die from Too Much Water. For the next few
days, very lightly mist the leaves. Keep the seedlings in heavy shade.
Frequent light misting will prevent dehydration and encourage new root
growth, without keeping the media wet.
After a few days, the cover can be partly removed and the seedlings watered
so that they are just damp but not wet.
Hormone formula and very weak fertiliser can then
be used, and as the seedlings establish, the cover can be removed altogether.
For the first couple of weeks, fungicides should not be used on the
seedlings, as a growth inhibiting effect can be caused by fungicides.
If there is a problem with fungus or mould, it means
the conditions are too wet, so cut water, ensure ventilation is sufficient,
and let the seedlings dry out a bit. In fact, most fungus problems in an
orchid house can be fixed by reducing water and increasing ventilation.
When seedlings have stablised and are large
enough to pot individually, a small pair of scissors may be needed to carefully
remove each seedling from the stocking mesh.
For a detailed deflasking method using potting media
and tips for treating seedlings from flask go to
