Potting media help

[Dan5]

Thanks for the advice.

I’m not familiar with this species of orchid so just wanted to check there wasn’t any very specific growing requirements. Sounds like I can tweak the growing medium to suit my environment without too much concern.

I think I’ll change the mix to 50% orchid bark to help retain moisture better

I did have the foresight not to remove the tiny orchid from the vial immediately, I broke the seal in the lid and left it loose for a week, then had the lid off for a week before removing it. The end of one leaf went brown but there’s new leaves growing nicely from the crown so think it’s generally in good shape.

I have a phalaenopsis in medium grade bark,
A zygopetalum and a Neofinetia falcata both in a bark and moss mix
And Macodes petola and Ludisia in a loose soil / bark / moss mix
