hi all,
has anyone got any info on this orchid because i recently bought one and it is growing in mid air so should i mount it, how much water do they need????

cheers.

The best way I've seen & done to grow these is to pot them in a coarse bark mix with a long piece of tree fern or timber used for mounting orchids in the pot as well, like a large stake. Tie the tricho to & let it run up it. The plant gets support & also attaches itself to it.

I water mine like a Vanda and monitor the length of the leaves to tell me if it's getting too much or too little light. But generally speaking, I give it Vanda styled culture.
