Renanthera - potting media?

[bambino]

What potting media do you use for your renantheras? Should I put it in a pot or should I hang it on a basket.

I was able to acquire two small cuttings. The cuttings have no roots.

Very course bark, but put the roots (if any) on top of the bark not in it (use a stick for support), in a clear pot or basket, mist them and hope some root buds grow out and climb into the bark

keep in a clear plastice bag and put the cutting on top of moist moss until the new roots come out. You can dip the cutting in 'roots stimulator' for faster growth.

Didn't realise rooting powder worked on vandaceous plants, perhaps it could be used to stimulate new roots on vandas?

[wonderlen3000]

Yeah roots stimulator work on Vandacae cutting. Use the gel type as i find it easier to managed. You might have to apply it more than a few time to thou. I'm still testing with my vandas. Some of my renanthera shoot out crazy roots, while other not so much. But its the best solution, outside of growing in the tropic thou.

I pot mine in river rock and they get full sun.
