Compots - Dumb question

[coirchoir]

This is so helpful - basic conclusion: try to be a discerning orchid grower, rather than use a one size fits all approach -
I am learning a lot more than I knew when I started this (my first attempt, so hope the orchids will forgive me!)
I'm going to attach my pictures of the 3 living arrangements I offered my zygos.
These are:
1. Big Zygo batch in ice-tray in sphag moss wrapped in plastic bag - a newspaper bag actually
2. Same as #1 unwrapped
3. small zygo batch on layer of peanut packaging, coir and sphag moss (the tray had no holes, the peanut shells moved around a bit and the coir was found swimming in water a week later - taking me to the next step
4. wire shelf lined with coir and sphag and sitting on top of ice-tray - seems like the best set up so far.
