Default Brassavola media
I have a recently deflasked group of Brassavola cucullata 'Bashor' x 'Ilgenfritz' coming this week. I have several options for media but I would like to know what you all think I should put them in.

Thanks

Hi Steven,

I personally like sphagnum for a first medium, on just about any genera.

Can't help with first potting, however I have B. nodosa and several others mounted on strips of cedar shingle and they seem to flourish. I prefer mounted orchids whenever I can do them.

Yes, sphagnum is one of the best options.
