Who Really Loves Moss?

[Blondie]

Hello, friends! It's been a while since I've been here. Today I went to the Greater Omaha Orchid Show and bought 3 new phals. They are really the only ones I have success with.

OK, so here's the deal: They're in moss-only. I pulled out the moss and the roots look really healthy. The last time I had a flowering, beautiful orchid that I swapped out of moss right away, all of the buds blasted. I do NOT want to do that because I bought ones with buds specifically so I could watch them open.

Everything I have is in bark. I want to take the risk, BE CRAZY, and keep the moss to see what happens. I know a lot of you don't like moss, but there has to be someone who does.

Anyone? Can you tell me that it's OK to leave in the moss for a while to see what happens?

Many thanks!
