Opionions about Dendrophylax lindenii needed.

I’ve never tried growing it, but I’ll share the “helpful” info I’ve read.

One very good grower found they did better on a mesh substrate (coated hardware cloth) then a normal, “flat” one. The speculation being that when you weave the roots through the mesh, the plant is immediately more mechanically stable and “comfortable” that it would be slapped onto the surface of a board or cork.

EFG orchids did very well with them inside a mostly-enclosed “tank”. Lots of sun, saturated humidity, pretty much zero air movement. Yet, I have heard from others that they are exposed to strong air movement in the wild. I have never been to the Fakahatchee Stand area, but other parts of the Everglades seemed pretty stagnant.
