Iris,
Some of us are long past assuming that anyone is joking about their
methods of improving orchids - or any other plants! So bizarre are some of
the suggested techniques that it surprises me that nobody has suggested
playing music to them. Or maybe we could try aromatherapy - yes, OK, I
really am joking!
If all these methods are so good it is surprising that the poor things
can survive at all in the real world in which they evolved. Since most
plants in the wild are in competition with other species. one might imagine
that to isolate them, provide appropriate substrate, nutrients, light,
correct temperature and humidity and a freedom from competitors would, in
itself, be a recipe for success. On the other hand, what a dull world it'd
be without the occasional leg-pulling! And how much more useful than the
aggro that sometimes leaks into this forum . . or is that all a leg-pull
too?
