Hey there!
Wow, it's looking really good!
I read somewhere (in a forum, perhaps this one) about rooting cuttings/etc. on live sphagnum. Not sure if you've heard about that approach.

Thanks!
I have seen pictures of people using live sphagnum, but I had just learned about water culture and was intrigued. Besides, I didn't have sphagnum readily available like I have spare glasses and water.
I've heard quite a few people swear by live sphagnum, so I think I'll try that too one of these days.
I'm currently trying to grow a few backbulbs and small divisions with various methods, just to experiment. They were all free!

Lucky you!!!
I have a friend who's an orchid nut like the rest of us, and I swear, every time I go to his house I leave with some kind of new orchid division in my hand. I think most of my collection, and pretty much all of my cloud forest orchids, are thanks to him.
Yay for fantastic giving people! |

Hehe, yeah no kidding! I had to search high and low for a handful of backbulbs and small divisions. If I had a friend with a large collection, there'd be no stopping me! (well, until my friend realized they had no more orchids and got a restraining order against me)

I've got some really good friends, but I'm using them to get rid of some of my non-orchid plants to make room for orchids! 
Hey, they like what I give 'em! If I had enough orchids to share I would. Give me a few years and I'll be putting divisions of my own plants up for trade on OB! |

Well, there's nothing wrong with that. Unless you're forcing the plants on them.
"Here, take my philodendron"
"But..." -- you shove it in their hands and walk away.
