I second this

Be proud of your plant! Big or small, it'll be gorgeous, once it grows out!

Have I ever mentioned how much you sound like my parents? Because it's true

It's in the que to be remounded. Once I do that I'll get a photo. Now I just need a beautiful pot for it...

It's because i AM a parent. I don't need any talk back.

Also, was that a subtle yet affective way of saying "send me more pots"?

How do you guys water your Neofinetias? I used to be able to just get them all under the sink, one by one, because I only had like, 6. But as my collection grew, one by one really doesn't cut it anymore.

Now I have them on racks and just put them in the bathtub! It's time efficient and easy for me.
What about you folks? I know some of you guys grow on racks, how do you water your orchids?

I keep mine in cheap narrow little plastic baskets I found at Dollar General. I can fit four of the smallest pots or three 3 inch pots in each basket. Most of my Neos (now 22 of 'em) are in 6 of these little baskets, which I carry 2 or 3 at a time to the kitchen sink. I've been needing to water most of them about every 3 days during the summer, supplemented with daily spritzing from a spray bottle.

My regular Vandas, however, do go to the bath tub each morning for a shower.

Watering my Phals in the kitchen sink is a somewhat bigger undertaking.
