Buy Clumping Bamboo From A Licensed Plant Nursery 407-777-4807 Ocoee Banboo Farm - Running Bamboo Vs Clumping Bamboo - When choosing bamboo for your garden or landscape, it is generally recommended to select clumping bamboo rather than running bamboo. Here are a few reasons why:
* Growth behavior: Clumping bamboo (sympodial) grows in a clumping or spreading manner, with new shoots emerging close to the main plant. Running bamboo (monopodial), on the other hand, spreads through underground rhizomes, allowing it to potentially invade other areas of your garden. Running bamboo can be quite aggressive and difficult to contain, requiring extensive root barriers or constant maintenance to prevent it from spreading uncontrollably.
* Containment: Clumping bamboo is generally easier to contain and maintain. Its growth habit allows you to create well-defined borders or barriers to limit its spread. This makes it more suitable for smaller gardens or areas where you want to keep the bamboo confined to a specific space.
* Maintenance: Running bamboo often requires more maintenance to control its spread. If left unchecked, it can quickly take over large areas and become difficult to remove. This can be time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially if it encroaches on other plants or structures in your garden. Clumping bamboo, on the other hand, requires less maintenance and is generally easier to manage.
* Variety options: Clumping bamboo offers a wide variety of species and cultivars to choose from, each with its own unique characteristics and appearances. This allows you to select the specific type of bamboo that suits your needs and preferences. Running bamboo, while also available in various types, may have limitations due to its invasive nature.
* Reputable sources: it is important to purchase bamboo from reputable sources like Ocoee Bamboo Farm 407-777-4807

OrquĂ­dea-abacaxi (Robiquetia cerina) - FamĂ­lia Orchidaceae
Tumblr media
Nome CientĂ­fico: Robiquetia cerina Nomes Populares: OrquĂ­dea-abacaxi, Abacaxizinho FamĂ­lia: Orchidaceae Categoria: Flores, OrquĂ­deas Clima: Equatorial, OceĂąnico, Tropical Origem: Ásia, Filipinas, Nova GuinĂ©, Oceania Altura: 0.4 a 1 metro Luminosidade: Luz Filtrada Ciclo de Vida: Perene OrquĂ­dea-abacaxi (Robiquetia cerina) - espĂ©cie muito exĂłtica originĂĄria das Filipinas, produz um interessante cacho com vĂĄrias flores! As orquĂ­deas sĂŁo apaixonantes e conquistam diariamente novos admiradores. E nĂŁo Ă© difĂ­cil entender o motivo. SĂŁo plantas muito especiais que fazem a alegria de coleccionadores e cultivadores domĂ©sticos que se aventuram a cuidar das mais diversas espĂ©cies. O nome do gĂ©nero, Robiquetia, Ă© uma homenagem ao farmacĂȘutico francĂȘs Pierre Jean Robiquet (1780 – 1840), conhecido por ter isolado a cafeĂ­na e sintetizado a codeĂ­na. JĂĄ o nome da espĂ©cie, cerina, Ă© o termo em latim para “de aspecto de cera”, uma alusĂŁo Ă  textura das flores. As suas folhas sĂŁo de formato alongado, sĂŁo esverdeadas e possuem espinhos nas bordas. Os frutos do abacaxi ornamental sĂŁo de cor vermelha. PorĂ©m existem espĂ©cies que possuem folhas com cores e tonalidades diferentes. A Robiquetia cerina Ă© uma orquĂ­dea natural, de crescimento monopodial, originĂĄria das Filipinas e Papua Nova GuinĂ©. Ela cresce sobre as ĂĄrvores na maioria das vezes, e ocasionalmente Ă© encontrada como rupĂ­cola (cresce sobre rochas).
Como cuidar da OrquĂ­dea-abacaxi
A orquidea-abacaxi necessita ser regada de maneira regular, alĂ©m de ser uma planta que nĂŁo se adapta e por isso nĂŁo aceita o frio e as geadas. O ideal Ă© que na hora de fazer qualquer manipulação nesta planta, utilize luvas de preferĂȘncia com textura grossa, para evitar ferimentos, pois as folhas possuem espinhos.
Tumblr media
Como todas as vandĂĄceas, cultive a Robiquetia cerina de forma suspensa, assim preserva o seu sistema radicular, e nĂŁo se danifica a inflorescĂȘncia pendente. A OrquĂ­dea-abacaxi necessita de muita humidade atmosfĂ©rica e regas abundantes das raĂ­zes, porĂ©m a drenagem deverĂĄ ser rĂĄpida e a ventilação boa, para se evitar problemas de apodrecimento de raĂ­zes e doenças por fungos. Deve proteger a OrquĂ­dea-abacaxi nos dias mais frios do inverno.
Tumblr media
Floresce no fim do verĂŁo e a sua floração dura em mĂ©dia trĂȘs semanas. Esta planta tem aspectos morfolĂłgicos muito diferentes de outras orquĂ­deas. VandĂĄcea com ramos pendentes e longos, com folhas elĂ­pticas, florescendo em hastes pendentes de aproximadamente 10cm de comprimento. Suportam dezenas de pequenas flores de diĂąmetro entre 0,5 e 0,8cm, que abrem em sucessĂŁo. Quantidade de flores - cachos com mais de 50 flores. A densa inflorescĂȘncia lembra um abacaxi. Existem duas variedades, uma com as flores vermelhas e outra com flores amarelas. Recomenda-se a adubação foliar semanal durante a primavera e verĂŁo com uma solução de 2g (1 colher de cafĂ©) de adubo NPK Peter’s na proporção 20-20-20, para cada litro de ĂĄgua. No outono e inverno a adubação da OrquĂ­dea-abacaxi pode ser a cada duas semanas. Faça tambĂ©m a adubação orgĂąnica do substrato uma vez por mĂȘs. https://youtu.be/89BrzRKrKeE Curiosidades: as espĂ©cies do gĂ©nero Robiquetia possuem crescimento monopodial, ou seja, possuem um crescimento Ășnico e continuo. Por isso tem um crescimento mais lento, porĂ©m sĂŁo plantas que podem florescer mais de uma vez por ano e chegar a um comprimento de mais de um metro. Read the full article

Orchid population
With more than 30,000 species of orchid in over 800 genera, its natural habit of many species is in the tropics where the majority of the species grow on the trunks and branches of trees for support. In the temperate zones, such as Southern Australia, the flower orchid grows mostly on the ground.
Tumblr media
There are two growth types of orchids: The first, known as Monopodial Orchids, have a central stem of growth and no pseudo bulbs; they produce new growth from the crown of the plant, and flowers are produced from the stem between the leaves.
The second known as Symbodial Orchids possess a rhizome which sends out a shoot. This develops into a stem and leaves and eventually produces flowers. Later, a new shoot develops from the base of this growth.

Besides having been considered a personiïŹcation of the White Crown, the Egyptians regarded Osiris as the personiÂ­ïŹed spirit of barley; for example, the CofïŹn Texts quote Osiris as saying, “I am Osiris ... I am barley ...” (de Buck, 1947). Osiris therefore appears in Fig. 18 covered by and shedding the barley he personiïŹed with the Atef or Osiris crown, com­prising the White Crown ïŹ‚anked by feathers, literally grow­ing from his head, just as Cheops and the Magicians explains allegorically how the White Crown grew from the stored barley.
Osiris was therefore typically depicted monopodially [one-legged] with arms akimbo (Fig. 19, left), obviously so he would look remark­ably like a mushroom (Fig. 19, right), especially to anyone who was privileged to the esoteric information that Osiris’s original nature was mycological. In fact, because the practice of per­sonifying mushrooms as monopodial beings was widespread in antiquity, mummies were apparently fashioned with a sin­gle or fused legs and arms akimbo to look like mushrooms, as explained more below vis a vis the tekenu.

Phalaenopsis amabilis (pexels.com) Anggrek bulan (phalaenopsis amabilis) yang dalam bahasa Inggris dikenal moon orchid adalah salah satu jenis dari sekian banyak jenis bunga anggrek. Dalam pengklasifikasian bunga di golongkan ke dalam famili Orchidaceae. Anggrek bulan ditemukan pertama kali oleh ahli botani bernama Dr. C.L. Blume yang berasal dari Belanda. Bunga ini hidup dengan cara epifit dan litofit meskipun sangat jarang. Epifit adalah tanaman yang "menumpang" dan menempel di tanaman lain sebagai inangnya. Berbeda dengan parasit yang merugikan karena menyerap nutrisi dari tanaman inangnya, epifit tidaklah merugikan tanaman inangnya. Sedangkan litofit serupa dengan epifit hanya saja yang ditumpanginya bukanlah tanaman lain melainkan batu dan tanah berbatu. Taksonomi Ciri-ciri bunga anggrek bulan https://youtu.be/EOEZ9Nc_zLY moth orchid (Phalaenopsis) by NCSU Edibles youtube channel Bunga anggrek bulan (phalaenopsis amabilis) memiliki bunga yang sangat indah. Bunganya biasanya tersusun dengan rapi di tangkai bunga yang tumbuh dari batang tanaman ketika akan berbunga. Tangkai bunga pada umumnya memiliki panjang tangkai + 30 cm - 75 cm yang kaku dan tumbuh melengkung. Dalam satu tangkai akan tumbuh bunga sebanyak 2 - 10 bunga yang akan bertahan cukup lama sebelum akhirnya layu dan rontok. Bunganya memiliki panjang 6 - 7 cm dengan lebar 5-8 cm dengan sepal dan petal (kelopak) yang menyebar berjauhan dari satu dengan yang lainnya. Sepal berbentuk menyerupai telur dengan panjang 3-4 cm, dengan lebar + 2 cm. Sedangkan kelopak bunga juga berbentuk menyerupa telur hingga persegi dengan panjang dan lebar 3-4 cm. Labelum berwarna putih dengan corak kuning dan kemerahan dengan panjang 2,5 cm serta terdapat lobus 3 lobus di tengahnya. Puspa pesona mempunyai tinggi sekitar 10 - 30 cm dengan batang yang hampir tertutupi oleh daunnya. Sedangkan panjang akarnya yang berwarna putih dapat mencapai lebih dari 1 m, tergantung kondisi dan lingkungan. Habitat Bunga anggrek bulan merupakan tanaman bunga yang tersebar luas dari Indonesia, Filipina, Malaysia, dan Australia. Bunga ini umumnya tumbuh di atas-atas pohon (epifit) dan di bebatuan (litofit) di hutan hujan tropis yang mempunyai kelembaban cukup tinggi. Tanaman bunga ini merupakan bunga monopodial yang tumbuh subur di dengan cahaya matahari yang relatif sedikit dengan ketinggian hingga 600 mdpl (meter di atas permukaan laut).
Jenis-jenis anggrek bulan
Tumblr media
Phalaenopsis amabilis (pixabay.com) Saat ini banyak sekali jenis anggrek bulan yang dijual dipasaran dan ditanam sebagai tanaman bunga hias. Sebagian besar yang sering kita temui adalah hasil hibridisasi yang merupakan hasil perkawinan silang antar spesies anggrek bulan. Jenis-jenis anggrek bulan yang sering kita temui dibedakan berdasarkan warna, corak dan totol-totol pada bunganya. Namun ada 3 jenis (sub spesies) anggrek bulan menurut World Checklist of Selected Plant Families : - Phalaenopsis amabilis subsp. amabilis, ini adalah jenis yang paling sering, mudah ditemui dan banyak dijual dipasaran. Jenis ini memiliki lubus tengah yang berbentung salib dengan corak kuning dan kemerahan. - Phalaenopsis amabilis subsp. moluccana, jenis ini memiliki lobus tengah yang berbentuk lonjong dan sedikit lebar di bagian pangkal lobus dengan corak kuning dan putih. - Phalaenopsis amabilis subsp. rosenstromii, jenis ini memiliki lobus tengah yang berbentuk segitiga dan relatif pendek serta corak berwana kuning.

The Abyss of Diversity, an Ecological Mess, and A Potential First Step to Fixing It and Opening the Door to A Plethora of Information.
One plant family, above all others, from the monocot group is responsible for the largest removal of plant blindness than any other family. It’s a craze of love and sometimes even addiction. It can even cause ecological disasters from how far we take things with these monocots. 
When one walks into a grocery store you may occasionally notice the orchids in floral section and become the casual observer. Or you may have gone to a conservatory/greenhouse and observed some orchids as you were enjoying the flora. You most likely associated the idea of an orchid flower with something relatively showy with glossy leaves and you may have even noticed that floral diversity with orchids are all across the board. This observation is a good observation as the orchid family, Orchidaceae,  has incredible floral diversity, from showy to inconspicuous, caused by nearly every evolutionary pressure you can imagine.
The evolutionary subsets that involve coevolution could take hundreds of lifetimes to even scratch the surface of what could be known. Fungal experts, cell biologists, biochemical specialists, and ecological and evolutionary ecologists are just a small group of people that sometimes get stuck specializing in a single species discourse and they aren’t even botanists. 
 Besides the intensely frigid zones of the planet/ oceans, you can observe orchids in almost every other environment. For example: Eulophia petersii grows in the arid to semi arid regions of Southern Africa where it can experience what would normally seem like extreme bouts of drought and do well. Orchidaceae is also considered to be the largest current family(20k natural sp. with 100hybrid cv. being developed daily.) and the second largest natural family. We see new species discovered almost yearly; with this said, a very important notion of their diversity goes unnoticed by many people on a daily basis that should be just as celebrated as their floral/vegetative/ and niche diversity. What I am suggesting is something that can be a little matted down or even underground to what we readily observe. Its what makes the family possible to begin with; what I mean is the roots(pun intended). From macro-morphology to ultrastructural morphology the roots of orchids can be insanely unique and very important. 
How deep does the diversity go?  Aside from primary shape, location and function of orchid roots; the diversity of associated Mycorrhiza coupled with unique root bacteria available within’ and outside of the root may seem almost unfathomable when looking at extremely active and diverse ecosystems. The interactions and ecology between each species present is even more unreachable. It doesn’t help that transplanting species is in large enough numbers is impossible and ecologically damaging/ unethical. It seems like our only method for growing orchids in bulk involves our species of interest being either a seed-agar flask or a root-parenchyma tissue culture flask from very sterile lab conditions, the average person without these methods has to rely on potential divisions or kiki to even get anywhere. With these methods you can’t get a full story at all and it feels like an untouchable issue; however, this untouchable issue is beginning to be resolved in some cases. 
First, before I go any further in what I am about to attempt to explain, I’d like to introduce some functional/common morphology and introduction before a break away into resolving the issue mentioned above. 
Orchids are highly specialized, as I mentioned above, and so are their components. Just like many other organisms, survival and fitness are the prime focus and getting to disjunct populations and travelling is necessary to find suitable habitat. The majority of Orchid species, like any other large family on the planet, have evolved multiple ways of moving their seeds from location to location. The most common way to move seeds is to have wind dispersal as the primary mechanism. We see this, wind dispersal, as a major component with other large, wide spread families( Asteraceae, Poaceae, Cyprussaceae). Orchids have also found success in resource allocation, remove the nutrient layer of endosperm, make seeds airborn by flattening them and making them small enough to be carried on the breeze or birds wings, and because endosperm takes energy and is no longer being used it’ll go to seed numbers. The only issue is that when a seed lands with know tissue dedicated to primary germination, how will it grow? The simple truth is having chemical signalling and thin seed coat prone to fungal interactions. Orchids spread seeds during periods that promote the hydroponic soil surfaces to be inundated with water and motile oospores. Oospores can change direction based on chemical signalling, once these ambient Oospores are produced they will travel to these seeds and embed through the thin coat into the initial cells. At first, in many cases, these seeds are specifically useless to the fungi that have attached; but, in many cases, eventually symbiotic interaction will be established along with the initiation of photosynthesis. I say “in many cases” because, we do have our sections of mycoheterotrophs that essentially feed off of saprotrophic and heterotrophic fungi( Some coral roots exhibit this as a function.). Little is known at the moment about these chemical signals and more fungal allocation in primary germination seems to be associated with what is ambient. We see ambient germination in epiphytic members of orchidaceae often, some require dual specialized fungal associations, fungus associations with australian ferns and Arachnorchis behrii is an example of this. Either way the reliance of fungal interactions is key in primary germination outside of in-vitro- asymbiotic flasking environments. Once embedded or coated, depending on specificity (arbuscular-endo-mycosymbiont or exo-mycosymbiont), we get different forming protocorms in each species. 
What is a protocorm? It is a pre-functioning seedling that begins secondary sell differentiation in a protected environment, creating organs while relying on another organism for aid in survival essentially. Once enough symbiotic associations are finalized, or somewhat finalized, and organ growth is past it’s primary stage while conditions are right, the protocorm will form what we know as the functional orchid. This means that roots and some form of energy storage organ are functioning. In some cases, we see just thickened roots as a main storage source and functional unit, corkscrew/ghost and coralloides are examples. Other species are divided into colloquial groupings, such as polypoidal -many feet and monopodial- single foot orchids. The polypoidal groupings are usually rhizomatous or have a thickened stollon where we se monopodial groupings with canes( elongate thickened stem like organs) or pseudobulbs (stout/bulb like thickened leaf meristem topped organs that are more closely associated with a traditional stem.) These obviously are not the limit to the storage diversity by any means, as storage cells can form a number of specialized organs. Valemen layer, the outermost sheathing layer of most orchid roots that are found briefly behind the root tip, can contain enlarged sink cells for water storage although the layers primary task is water absorption and protecting the photosynthetic root layer beneath and with terrestrials it can add a layer of security to its fungal and bacterial symbionts. Many times if need be, plants, without a proper long term storage organ, may revert pack to a protocorm state until good conditions and less soil compaction are a transparent factor in the environment; this concept explains why some large individual Cypripedium spp. will “disappear” for years and then reappear to bloom years later, relying on only symbiont stimuli and energy sequestering.  
With the basic concepts of morphology down, we can move onto the issue at hand involving root-symbiont research. Obviously, with so much diversity and rarity poaching will occur. Not only poaching as an issue; but, improper ecological education, geological/botanical blindness, and failure to manage land properly to the point of mass ecosystem collapse has lead to a decline in population growth in many orchid species. So, how do we quickly restore order and mitigate damage for the future of Orchidaceae and it’s ecological interactions when it’s highly invasive to do transplanting(not to mention almost all transplants of an established plant fail)? Well, their are a couple new methods and protocol that may lead to answers. Many colleges with decent culturing programs and genetic programs are working with resource branches in the government to identify the symbionts present and necessary by species. There are tons of ethical codes involved, on a region to government basis; but, if you can get involved with local orchid societies, governments interested in ecological preservation, and biological research departments you can help reverse a lot of damage potentially.  There are two main methods of gaining this knowledge: one major one is zooplankton net bound in-situ(at native site) seed germination/protocorm removal that involves barcoding cultures after the fungus has been probed out in lab, once probed, it is cryogenically frozen for later culture libraries. A good example of one such organization doing this is The Smithsonian Institute North American Orchid Conservation Center. The second, is live root tissue sampling which also requires extremely delineate protocol and membership to specific groups that can give permits. In my State, the ODNR and EPA is working with many universities and even orchids societies, like CGOS and NOPES, to set up a standard interface in ethical collection as well as permits. In order to access these permits you do have to be part of one of these groups and be trained in protocol.
