Is this staking too much?

Thanks. I love the post-use elastic band of surgical.mask to
tie orchids with. Flexible and soft. Everyone please cut your mask bands after use to keep wild life safe.

I think it all depends on WHY you want to stake. OK, if you intend showing there are certain protocols about good/bad staking, but for just personal enjoyment do what pleases you. Personally I will stake only as a last resort because I like my plants to react in their natural way - there are no stakes in nature.

May I see your paph in flowering stage when they didn't receive any stake support?
