Malleola punctata - how to grow it?

[u bada]

I never found my malleola too fussy... I've mounted it couple times and doesn't skip a beat. I've let it dry out completely, wasn't set back, but definitely appreciates lots of water then drying out just a bit. Originally it was on those strange nets that asian vendors grow on, with coir fiber, then I had to take it off... put on cork, then moved to tree fern so the fine roots can grow into it when it needs extra moisture while letting crown stay dry. I have killed related mini vandaceous rot at main growth before so definitely keep water off the main growth as you would phals and such...

as for what you mount on... doesn't think it matters all that much, but if you're an underwaterer a cool log may work. If the wardian case doesn't have fan/ air flow inside, then you shouldn't have to water all that much anyway... when it comes to the miniatures i love- pleurothallis and related, miniature bulbophyllum, I tend to prefer tree fern mounts for the reason I mentioned above- it holds moisture inside it so roots can stay moist, but allows for crown to stay dry. Perhaps the cool log is a different way of doing that. I've been planning to try using cool logs for a while now, I should just go and order some soon...
