New To The Ghost Orchid and I Need Help!

[Undergrounder]

that is a beautiful little plant, i like the spanish moss idea, as if it creates a little humid microclimate under there or something... great idea.

How big is it? its hard to tell from the pics.

Not at the moment.

Bad news though. The poly's died. Had a bad fly infestation brought in from a phal' and lots of other problems. Had to repot and insecticide every single plant, remount the mounted ones blah blah. Missions haha. But i just got a Doritis pulcherrima alba and that is in the tank now with my chiloschista and also a phal' seedling (just an experiment to see how it will grow in there really).

I'll get photo's soon, of all my plants

Sorry you ghost died Chris, I hope the rest do well for you.

[ChrisJGreen]

Yeah. Everything else is fine and dandy.
The main problem was they were young plants, got bashed about alot in flask, so much so that i had to take them out to remove broken bits. Then the flies. Nevermind haha.

It's not that we hate capitals .. they are used in cases of emphasis or yelling ..
(It's a bit of a shock to the eyes after reading a multiple of threads )

R.I.P. to your ghosts. I didn't see any mango tree mounts but I would love to if you get a chance to post them. Good luck with all your orchids and best wishes to your dad.

Sorry your ghosts died. I don't think I can even grow them, it sounds so complicated. For now, I have to be content with photos of them on my screen saver!
