Best placement of Brassavola little stars in pot
 
1 Attachment(s)
So, what's the best placement for (esp a seedling/young) B little stars in her pot?

I potted mine with back bulbs as close to one side of pot as possible, with new growths facing toward front/center.

But I've heard that some little stars get quite bushy and can grow in multiple directions. So....would it be better to place my gal in the Center of her pot, like a monopodial orchid...for greatest amount of space before needing to repot?

Currently my little stars is in a 3" clear slatted orchid pot with raised center, in Orchiata bark. Her roots and new growths are growing like crazy...but nothing is actually In the bark yet...so now would be the time for me to move her if would be better than the traditional way of placing sympodial orchids.

Thanks!

It wouldn't hurt to center it in the pot.

Thanks, rabbit. In fact, even since writing last, it appears there might be activity beyond the two new growths I already have. I imagine that centering it, esp with my new lights being directly above, would encourage it all the more to get nice and bushy 🌞

I'll keep everyone posted.
