Default Angraecum didierii: Spike or Root?

Yes, here we go again:

I was just mentioning to Ross, that I goofed up the tags while watering. . .so I THINK this is my Angraecum diderii. There is a chance (50/50) that it's my Aerangis articulata though, I must tell you.

Please advise. . .Spike or Root?

Hey! And guess what. . .I am starting to see a little green tinge to the moss. I think the moss spores are waking up!

OOOOOooooh, I would love to be able to grow moss on my mounts!

That could be didierii, but I can't tell from the leaves except I can tell you for certain, it is an Angraecoid. As for the moss, you have a couple scenarios that may play through. If the plant is in rteally high humidity, it could be Java moss, which I seem to have a lot of. Otherwise, I would predict "green moss" which could be just about any green moss you'd find on the forest floor.

It's very humid in my Exo Tank. . .sometimes as high as 99% but with the fans going it just doesn't seem all that high. . .the moss does get dried out a bit. I am hand misting in the mornings.

Whatever the moss is, it came on/in the sphagnum. I am hoping for java moss but would be happy with anything.

So what do you think spike or root?
