Angraecum germinyanum
Here is a picture of my compot of Angraecum germinyanum. I have not grown many African orchids. I was surprised to learn this plant in the Vanda family. When these seedlings are large enough, I'm going to separate them and mount them on synthetic tree fern plaques.
This compot comes from EBay vendor: Mostlyspecies. Marni Turkel is the owner.

Thanks Brooke and Sonya! There are 10 seedlings. I'm thinking mounting half and potting half. What say you?

This is a hard species to grow in a pot and if mounted it becomes a shrub. Here is mine from a couple of years ago.
 Angraecum germinyanum JCL_0655 by kentucky4, on Flickr
It is mounted on a tree fern totem and gets watered every day and should be watered twice a day. I have no idea if it can even be grown in a pot.

Angraecum germinyanum
BEAUTIFUL Brooke (your plant too) LOL! Your picture convinced me that I will grow these plants mounted. Marni Turkel's photos show that she has her plant mounted as well.
Thank you for posting your picture--now I have a goal for these seedlings.

Looks great! I'm jealous! After seeing this thread I set out to find one at an affordable price, but the lowest I see is at $29.00. -sigh- It's too much... -opens wallet slowly-
