Wow Matt, that's great! They look so good

Cambria sorry about your leaf and Matt nice flask plants. I'll post pictures of mine soon as well.

Your plants looks great Matt! Lots of happy looking seedlings. They look quite large, I think my 'adult' plant is only slightly bigger.

My plant finally decided to do something! The bottom leaf turned yellow.

Goodness I feel lucky now. Mine I think is still growing it's leaf and it's root and what ever the other thing is is at a stand still. Sorry all about the happenings.

The seedlings look good, they'll probably bloom first.

Mine is just sitting there. I'm thinking about repotting to the lava/charcoal and putting it under a clear pot with holes to create a small terrarium environment.

I'm growing my Dendrobium peguanum that way. It loves it.

Update: i'm not Happy how mine were doing on the "terra cotta/ clay log". So yesterday I repotted into mini net baskets with sphagnum moss & inserted into mini clay pots . I also gave them a good soak in KLN. This should work better in my set up.
For info some of the longer spindly roots had died.

I would be interested in how many holes are in your cover pot. I have a baby that need more humidity and am trying your method, but the cover pot I have has many holes on the top and slots on the sides. Will that hold enough humidity or do I need a more solid pot ?

My bottom leaves whilst yellowed haven't dropped off or seemed to have gotten any worse. new leaf is steaming ahead, existing roots growing well and a brand new root is going well also.
