Polyrrhiza lendenii question 'Ghost Orchid'

[jaxorchidman]

If I have this mounted, and it is a seedling still, is it possible to overwater it? I have it in a big vase with spanish moss and water in the bottom to create a humid atmosphere. I mist it a couple times a day and didn't want to over do it. Any comments or suggestions?!?!? Thank you!

I dont have one of these myself, but I have read about them and I would suggest that you get a small deep tub, fill it halfway with water, and hang the plant over the top or you could use the vase. Or I stead of using just water put hydroton in the bottom and fill it level to the hydroton with water. I would still mist it a couple of times a day because if the roots dry out the plant will not make it. I don't really think that you could overwater it, but it also needs high humidity.

Thanks Chris. I think I might do the hydroton in the bottom instead of the Spanish moss. I think if the Spanish moss sits in the water too long it might be rotten water and maybe cause bad gas or something.
