Neo.s in Vanda baskets??
 

Heyy.

Just a simple question. Can one grow a Neo. like a Vanda in a cedar Vanda basket??

Yes.

I have one Neofinetia plant mounted on a small branch. It looks okay. However, I have to water it more often. If it is grown bare root like Vanda, you probably need to water or mist daily during the growing season.

I have all of mine in net pots, with a 3/4 sphagnum 1/4 bark mix. Most of the year they do fine with weekly watering; in summer they need twice a week.

Thank you all.

There's no reason that you couldn't grow them in baskets with some sphag. They would dry out quickly but still retain a little moisture. It is also easy to tell when they need water.

Thank you. I'm bidding on one one eBay and its mounted but I was thinking that it would look good in a Vanda basket. That's if I win.

I grow mine in basket pots/red lava rock and the roots just go everywhere, like Vandas. :)

How long r the roots??

They do also do well mounted. If you win the mounted plant, it may be established on the mount, and then would be better off left on the mount - unless you are planning to just put the mount in the basket.
