once the plant has better roots and better leaves I will just take off the pot on top It was only because the plant looked very very bad at the time I moved it in S/H, and anted to provide higher humidity
thanks guys - you are feeding me good thoughts on how to deal with the situation. also, i read today that aerangis doesnt like to be disturbed and can be slow to recover. i guess i cant have the gardens of babylon in a NY apartment in a day. i gotta work for it and be patient. i love this vandaceous vegetable (thanks Tindo for weaning the little guy). keep the culture suggestions comming orchid board!!!
Ithink the trick is that I have quite low air humidity, then I do not water as frequent as normally suggested for S/H, I do it only when the reservoir is getting empty! Maybe thi smakes the difference....
