Project 2015 Spring: Podangis dactyloceras

[MattWoelfsen]

I think this is in the Vanda alliance? I was intrigued by this plant. It was one of the five finalist for the 2015 Project. It did not win, but I wanted to get one anyway.

I hope there is a side project for this plant!

I ordered this too. I'm a bit nervous about keeping it alive.

There was talk of a side project. I hope there is one.

I don't think there is any one saying that you can't start start your own project. Just announce that you are starting one. I will bet you would have a lot of takers!...Jean

I am in. Mine will get here tomorrow.

I'm also in, mine will arrive next week! Seeing how many people are getting it, I'll make a subproject thread for it and maybe also the Den cucumerinum.

If you want I can rename this thread as side project, and move it to the member project forum instead of starting a new thread. Let me know!

I've got it as well as the cuke.

Mine arrived today!
I think we bought it at the same nursery Camile
It came mounted, my first mounted one actually, so am a little nervous about the watering!
I didn't really like the wood it is mounted on and it was put on with staples, don't know if that is such a good idea either, wondering if it is a good idea to take it off the mount and put it on the better looking branch of grape wood i have here or to leave on this mount staples and all and just see what happens. idea's on what to do are welcome

Pixi, I've been thinking about your experience....all my mounted plants are tied on with fishing line--which I remove after a couple of months when the plant is firmly attached to the mounted product. I'm thinking that staples are metallic and after a length of time, those staples will rust and could be toxic to the plant?

If it were mine, I think I would re-mount it using something like fish line?

It would be informative to watch your plant grow mounted to compare it with other plants that are potted--like mine.
