Trichoceros onaensis culture - Orchid Board

Hi everyone!

I have recently started to buy orchids based on their warmth/light requirements. I just bought a trichoceros onaensis for it's cool growing nature.

Of course, I didn't check out the culture. From what I have read I can either mount this orchid or put it in loose moss. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Also, if I have to mount this orchid (I would prefer to grow it in a pot...) how do I do so?!

Help!

Thanks!
Danielle

Mounted culture is best.

I have a pic of a Trichoceros species I have posted up here on the OB, you can check it out by doing a search on the search engine.

They may be cool growing, but they shouldn't ever be allowed to experience temperatures below 36 F.

High temperatures of 100 F are okay.

They grow in very bright indirect light.

Humidity 50% - 80%.

They don't need to be watered a whole lot, they're very succulent and behave pretty much like one in terms of watering regimen.
