You already ordered? If you had waited and we ended up buying a plant from there, you could save on shipping.
One of the reasons people do TCs....

Is anyone else trying something new with this project???

I've decided that the best set up for almost all the orchids in my situation are to have whatever media they like, with a layer of hydroton on the bottom (rather than pebbles).

I'm still going to order. Don't worry, I just really wanted this one, and when I ordered it didn't look like the purpurata was going to win.

That sounds cool, did you see my thread on the Phal I saved from Walmart? The roots are looking great in the pebble and bark mix, but I think I will try that with one of my other chids to check and see results with different orchids, but the project plant, I am going to add Leca.
