LOL Thank you! I AM bad The moss comes from the lawn of the local doctors building; the entire lawn is covered in sphagnum so I got some and cleaned it up before I used it. I use Hibiscrub to clean everything. I used to use it when I was in practice doing horse teeth.

I thought I might add a couple of pics of how I keep the humidity up. It simply consists of a container of water and two sheets of kitchen paper folded in half and one end placed into the water. I have used two here and if the humidity is far too high then I remove one sheet and reduce the length of the remaining sheet (simply add more of the sheet into the water) rather than using more ventilation thus losing heat. It worked for me with other plants so orchids should be no different.

Thank you! The above method is fine if you are not growing-on your keikis in the same area as your main stock. You may not need to use the container and towel method if your keikis are in the same area as your plants as the fan will draw in the humid air from your growing area. However, you will still have to check your babies for temps and humidity.
