Hello friends!

So with the orchid collection having grown, but to a point of stability, and the growing season kicking in here, I was wondering if y'all have an more efficient way to water moss mounds.

All are pretty much the same amount of dryness after 3-5 days.

Recently I was able to take advantage of some (not quite) spring rain and everyone got watered with some nice rain water.

Usually I put 2-3 in a large bowl of water, with any additives for fertilizer every other watering if the plant(s) are growing, mostly to fully submerged for about 5 minutes. This is fine, but there's around 15 or so plants in moss mounds. Plus, the mounds make them float a little bit, so sometimes I have to hold them upright. If there's a type of tray I could line them and poor water into and get them all at once, that'd be great. Or if I really only just need to pour some water on the mounds and not soak them (at least when it's not a watering to fertilizer as well), then great!
