Steve, the plant is on top of an inverted 2" clay pot...the longest root is about 4 inches crawled down under the pot...its like a spider embracing the pot
Paul...the tip I got was : bright shaded sun in summers and Phal light in the colder months(let it feel cold at 55F at night in winter to induce it to spike) when it spikes continue water and fertilizer as if it is in active growth(in spring) its not the principle of the swamp at all...but follow the principle of the monsoon rains and bright dry summers in Asia

Thank you Bud! How bright are we talking? Vanda bright or more like Dendrobium and oncidium?

Oh yes, Steve...this plant would love to be in a terrarium...in fact this is how I grow this...almost a terrarium environment
I suggest you get the plants by Peter Lin of Diamond Orchids on Ebay(he has the most established healthy plants I have seen like this...) he also have a website and you may contact him there

Large Brandy Glass
This is how I grow this plant (image 1 to 4).
I have two of this brandy glass and the second one is the home of Dendrophylax lindenii :The American Ghost Orchid (on picture 5 & 6) that is now very well established on hickory bark.

That is certainly an ingenious way to grow them. Where did you get such large D. lindenii?

Thank You, Sonya ! Its two large centerpieces in my bay window...and my friends think it is weird plants...that is why I had to put them in a large cocktail setting to give it a presentation and also keep the humidity and warmth.
