Yes, I'm also very interested in the basket ! How do you hold it together ?

I no longer have my Lou Sneary 'Lynnette' but when I got it I moved it from the basket it came in to a mount and it loved it !!! It attached and I removed the fishing line in one season. Mine was the pink kind and I'm overexposed to pink and eventually sold it. It had 2 foot long aerial roots !! Green arrows on 2nd pix.

Nice plant Chryss. Did you have it growing outside there in Maryland? Looks like great growing conditions; dappled sun under mature trees. They must have loved being outside.

Cheers.
Jim

Yes, Jim, it DID like it outside there on my front stoop. It got morning sun until 11 am when the sun moved behind the house.

I had one outside all summer in close to the same conditions and it made a great root system in the container it was in ...a small glass jar .But one root that grew outside the container out grew anything inside the container ....I just mounted two last week and they started poping out new roots as soon as I took them out of the containers so I think air movement influences root growth on them quite a bit

Thank you for the basket idea! I also would like to know what you use to hold it together. Is it galvanized wire or fishing line? Very particle and cheap to make.

Well, I'll try to show a little more and explain a bit...

1. twigs, different sizes. The small one look like wings in the finished basket. The Neofinetia basket is fundamentally the same, just 14 twigs all of the same length, more or less. two wires, one at 5 cm from the top and one about 3 cm from the bottom.

2. There is no limit to fantasy. Just image how wide you want the spaces between the twigs.

3. horizontal baskets with four sides (four wires) and six sides (six wires). If you want you can begin with short ones and end with longer twigs. I recommend to choose the last - upper - one a bit shorter.

4. four sided, straight and somehow simple...

5. filling the bottom with palm tree fibre - those sheaths that wrap around the centre and the young leaves -

6. after planting it needs some time in settling down. After a few weeks you may like to tighten the wires.

7. without substrate, just a way to hold big vanda-roots somehow together and a bit protected

8. for my phal. lindenii...

8a. just use little twigs and go on with slightly bigger ones, choosing the thick twigs only at one side - this way the basket bends like a cornucopia. Great fun doing it!!!

9. Only the upper part is filled with substrate, the rest stay empty

Thank you! I've been thinking of trying something like this, and you've given me incentive. I've seen bamboo baskets done this way as well. I'm going to start looking for nice, strait sticks!
