Oregon moss

[charitysmama]

Hi, I am somewhat new at growing orchids in Oregon. I have grown some cymbidiums in Ca., but I fell in love with phals when some were given to me. I started reading threads here and also saved some orchids from Wal Mart on the clearance table. I discovered clear plastic pots and decided to repot all my orchids with fresh bark and new pots, that way I knew they all had good stuff. Now I am dealing with a problem, Oregon moss growing on the inside of the pots. I had some in clear plastic pots and ceramic pots but took them out so I could watch how the roots were doing and allow more air circulation. Now I have moss in the lower part of the inside pots. Should I put them back into decorative pots or cover the plastic pots with some kind of breathable cloth? Right now, I set them in a sunny window to see if that would help. Here in Oregon we treat moss with bleach or iron. I don't think a little iron would hurt the orchids. What are your thoughts?
