Then pot them in coarse bark. You can't overwater them then Or overpot them..

Oh you'd be surprised:rofl:
They're actually doing so well since I mounted them last spring that I wouldn't dare move them. They had maybe a decent root and a half between them at the time and now they have big, fat, happy looking roots growing everywhere <3 I even got one to put out a spike with a single bloom
But it just goes to show how many variables there are in what works for different people, from different climates to different watering "habits" :)

You need to grow Bulbophyllums. Seriously.
