I agree that the pot is big but I had it in a smaller pot and it tipped over because of the weight of the canes. It is going to be in the mid to high 70's this week and it will have some outside time. I am really hoping this one does ok. I have the keiki to pot in the coming weeks and I thinking about using packing peanuts and bark as a medium......I tried this on another orchid and it did really well.
