Growing paphiopedilum and phragmipedium on mounts
Slipper orchids have never really been my thing. I periodically buy 1 or 2 to try them out again and they just keep rotting on me. Usually it is crown rot. I figure that I always overwatered them. I recently started looking for plants that can grow mounted and purchased Paph. Parishii and Phrag Caudatum. I read that both these species can grow as epiphytes and wanted to know if anyone has had success with growing them in this manner. I mount on treefern with a little sphag moss. All my plants are grown outdoors, I live in Puerto Rico avg. temp 85 humidity 70-80%, pretty much year round.
