Growing Dendrophyllax lindenii-The Ghost Orchid?

[greengarden]

Eek! It arrived! It looks great and the Chiloschista looks amazing, so many plants in a huge bottle. I also got a B. lobbii division and it's in fantastic condition, I am so pleased with my purchases Anyone in Aus i highly recommend Rosella Orchids!!

Now the hard part... I have to work out how I will deal with the Dendrophyllax. I'd prefer to put it onto solid mounts rather than in baskets. I think mount availability is probably a bit different over here though so any suggestions welcome. I have some small pieces of cork and tree fern and can go out into the bush behind me and get some small branches off old apple trees that have gone feral out there or casuarina branches which are often covered in lichen?? Maybe one of each... I'm thinking that given I have all of these Chiloschista too it might be easiest to set up a 4ft fish tank I have spare as a terrarium, with damp coconut coir in the bottom.

The good thing is everything travelled really well, which means they can stay in their flasks for now and acclimatise

From what I've read on here is that you need a wood that is like to grow the fungi that the orchid likes. That is the hard part.
