About potting up 'miniature' orchids
Default

My Two cents.
Moss is very retentive, neat, porous, lightweight, and maintains even moisture throughout the pot.
Moss is great for indoor grown Phals-orchids. Simply water only when it (bottom hole) no longer feels damp to touch, this may be weeks depending on the location.
Moss is terrible in the green house, it gets soggy, and decomposes if mixed with other media and no longer acts as a porous media.
So I love the moss for my houseplant phals.
I remove all moss from my greenhouse orchids and repot in more porous less retentive media.
