Thanks for the compliments on the mounted plants! I truly appreciate them.

whew...I thought you were drowning the vanda...but yes that vanda will do well in a basket, you have a near blooming size or that is quite big for a seedling

I see that you mounted your cernua in a jolla cactus skeleton...you know that you can put some coconut fiber layered with charcoal, lava rock and bark inside the hollow

Hi, No, I didn't know that but that's a great idea. That's why I really like this Board. Great ideas, good people and everyone very, very willing to help.

Yup, I have sphag in the middle of mine to keep up the humidity.

[pasojanice]

Josh, Do you also spray that every day?

[bballr4567]

It doesn't need it every day. It takes around 2 days before it drys out enough if I keep the humidity around 65.

[pasojanice]

ok. Sounds good to me. Thanks.

Interesting. I'm now thinking about repotting my Vandas in baskets with sphag so I don't have to water two or more times a day. They are currently in baskets.

[pasojanice]

I do have another question....I also have smaller vandas and their roots do hang down out of the baskets. I had been under the impression that the roots just "dangled". Is this possible also?

All Vandas I've seen have roots just dangling.
