Especially miniature or at least small ones. My Catts and Dens do fine, so I'm wondering if there are any that do well in those conditions. I don't want to get into daily watering for 15 minutes at a time, but the flowers keep catching my eye. ]]> General Orchid Culture poetiscariot http://www.rv-orchidworks.com/orchidtalk/general-orchid-culture/21231-vandaceous-orchids-home.html Getting closer to bloom, Onc. stacyii http://www.rv-orchidworks.com/orchidtalk/phalaenopsis-oncidium-intergenerics-bloom/21227-getting-closer-bloom-onc-stacyii.html Fri, 03 Sep 2010 11:23:52 GMT Still a ways off but progressing wonderfully.

The last phal I tried to move from sphag to bark mix with 20% sphag went from very healthy with fat vigorous roots to rootless within about 10 days. When I pulled it from the pot, there was moisture in the pot, but the bark was not wet. It is currently going nowhere in a sphag and bag.

I just got a Dtps. I-Hsin Ice Coke in the mail that I wasn't expecting to be in pure sphag. It looks so good--7 leaves, lots of air roots, 2 old spikes--I hate to send it to the ICU like the last one. But it is in a soft, clear plastic pot with just one hole and did not seem to drain very quickly when I watered it. What is the best way to transition a phal out of sphag and into a bark medium?

Thanks,
