I have it in a pudding cup that I've repurposed as an orchid pot. I will order a net pot for the next size up from this cup, but it will be a while before it outgrows the pudding cup I think. It's got a bunch of holes in it though. This was one of my experimental cups and I thought it was close enough to a net pot to do the job.
I have a couple of pellets of hydroton in the bottom to weight the cup down a bit and then it's in a mix of bark and moss and I topped it with a few longer fibers of moss. I'm lazy when it comes to watering, so I have to give myself a visual cue to look for when a plant needs to be watered. The moss on top of the pot changes color when its dry.
I'm surprised my paphs haven't staged a protest. I think I might be more of a cattleya person. My cattleya alliance plants don't seem to care when I water them, as long as I don't forget about them entirely. LOL!

I hear ya on the watering! Hence the saucers of water w/some of my moisture loving plants.
I must have just missed the pudding cup thing...that should be perfect.

Wanted to post an update on this guy: New Growth! I keep the saucer he's in filled up each morning when I see that the plant is nearing a dry state. It could look better, but I am pleased to see a new leaf develop so soon after removing it from the mount and potting it up this way. I think this method will work much better for me in the long run. This little plant seems to be happy, at long last!

Good going. I'm going to have to look up what this little devil looks like.

It's actually quite a large plant when it grows. I purchased a seedling without realizing it. I got it for 10$ so no complaints there. The blooms are gorgeous. Great big yellow flowers. Really spectacular! I can't wait to see them on my own plant!

It's a question! There are some bulbos that smell nice rather than stinky. I like the novelty of a stinky orchid.  |
