Project 2015 Spring: Podangis dactyloceras

I think this is in the Vanda alliance? I was intrigued by this plant. It was one of the five finalist for the 2015 Project. It did not win, but I wanted to get one anyway.

I hope there is a side project for this plant!

I ordered this too. I'm a bit nervous about keeping it alive.

There was talk of a side project. I hope there is one.

I don't think there is any one saying that you can't start start your own project. Just announce that you are starting one. I will bet you would have a lot of takers!...Jean

I am in. Mine will get here tomorrow.

I'm also in, mine will arrive next week! Seeing how many people are getting it, I'll make a subproject thread for it and maybe also the Den cucumerinum.

If you want I can rename this thread as side project, and move it to the member project forum instead of starting a new thread. Let me know!

I've got it as well as the cuke.

Mine arrived today!
I think we bought it at the same nursery Camile :)
It came mounted, my first mounted one actually, so am a little nervous about the watering!
I didn't really like the wood it is mounted on and it was put on with staples, don't know if that is such a good idea either, wondering if it is a good idea to take it off the mount and put it on the better looking branch of grape wood i have here or to leave on this mount staples and all and just see what happens. idea's on what to do are welcome :biggrin:

Pixi, I've been thinking about your experience....all my mounted plants are tied on with fishing line--which I remove after a couple of months when the plant is firmly attached to the mounted product. I'm thinking that staples are metallic and after a length of time, those staples will rust and could be toxic to the plant?

If it were mine, I think I would re-mount it using something like fish line?

It would be informative to watch your plant grow mounted to compare it with other plants that are potted--like mine.
