I don't buy it - how would you explain all
of the vandas grown in mid-air?

Subject: [OGD] Root question
While discussing the semi-hydroponic method of growing orchids
with a friend
he mentioned an article (maybe from an old WOC proceedings?)
on a study
which determined that epiphytic roots didn't uptake nutrients
until they
attached to a substrate. Or maybe it was that epiphytic
roots uptook
nutrients better if attached to some sort of a
substrate. He didn't know if
anyone had ever done anything with that
study or if it had been backed up by
further investigation.
Does
this jog anyone's memory? Anyone know the study, author or where the
article was printed?
