I have added a new orchid to the fold a Masd. Falcata 'Audrey' and I would like any input regarding the care of this little gem. I recieved it today from e-bay and it is in wonderful condition. It is planted in a 3 inch pot in moss. It has been growing in this moss for awhile as it has turned green. I took it out of the pot and the roots look good so I replaced it and put it in the orchidarium. Now I read that they like to be moist so if there is anything else I should now I would love to hear your

Thanks

Make sure you have good air circulation, and don't over feed,normally I use half strength when feeding and have good results, but mine grow in a shadehouse.

Hello Masda, thanks for the info. What do you grow yours in mine arrived in moss complete moss. I worry about rotting.

I put mine in the orchidarium and the fan runs 24/7.

Mine grow in wild spaghnum,and also in small grade pine bark, they do equally as good in both mixs. Rot will only occur if you overwater.
