Tolumnia william thurston "Robson" info. please
So along with the Hknsa I got today from my local orchid show, I got a very small Tolumnia orchid. It was in a small pot, about 2" or so, a little bit of fine bark at the bottom and some cubes of tree fern. I think they were trying to mount it to the tree fern, but the roots were kinda just in between the cubes, I was wondering if it would be okay in just fine bark as a substrate, I read that they like to get dry between waterings and don't like to be moist for very long either, I'm wondering if the bark would take to long to dry out. I moved it from the little 2" pot it was in to a little larger maybe like 3" plastic basket type pot with bark filling the bottom and the roots between the tree fern cubes like it was before. also, I got a care sheet from the orchid sale I was at and it said it only needed to be fertilized every two or three weeks, is that true? I was told about my oncidium to fertilize weekly with like the third week just normal water to flush it. I'm gonna get up a few pics probably in a few minutes when I get the chance to take some.

The other thing I was thinking was about mounting it to a little bigger like slab of tree fern then maybe mounting that to a piece of wood and covering it with some moss to make it look natural and cool
