Hey all.. Just wanted to thank you so much for the chat...I stumbled on it by accident and I learned so much.
I put 2 in s/h today but i need more leca (hydroton) because I only had enough from a really small bag that someone gave me.
I put a Cattleytonia and a Dendrobium in s/h. They were in s/h before when I got them and I didn't realize what I had. So now they are back in it and I am crossing my fingers.
I'll take pictures later as soon as I get a little more leca. I think I should stuff just a bit more in the pots.
I did get the holes drilled in the correct spot. Thanks for explaining that. The lightbulb finally clicked on.
I did discover some really great pots...2 liter Coke bottles for the big ones and 32 oz Powerade bottles for medium sizes.
Anyway, thanks again...i'll be reporting my results soon.
