Wire mounts for Vanda and Renanthera

With root culture, is the plant mostly just perched in an empty vase, and you pour the water into the vase for a soak period, then drain the water off again? Interesting! Are all of the roots made to go down inside the vase, or do any of them hang over the sides? I'm trying to picture it in my mind, but may need to Google an image to be sure.

That may well be worth trying in my situation! I'll have to remember that.

Thanks!

Exactly!

The plants I am doing this with are all young. Some had few roots, floppy leaves when I got them, they are now growing new roots, have healthy leaves. With mine at the moment, all roots hang down in the vase.

Well I will try it with the vase for now, then, since they are quite young and don't have much root yet. Vases I've got, lol. Thanks for the tip! Maybe I can grow them a bit bigger before they hit the patio.
