Hmm...so I'm quite successful with my catts here-most are potted in plastic with a chc/bark/chopped sphag/etc. mix and I water about every 5 days. Basically NO humidity on my window cills.

I have a couple of encs...one potted up like my catts-and it throws off new growth, is in the brightest SE window I have, but no blooms in the year+ I've owned it. (Enc. bassavolae). Wonder if it would be happier in a basket?

My Enc. fragrans is mounted on wood w/sphag over the roots and it seems happy, new growth, no bloom but it's only been here since fall. SE window. And, my track grecord with the cochloatas sucks-the one I have now is potted in my bark mix in a clay pot. And, it's not doing much....

Would they all like to be brighter and dry out even further? Hm...

Yours is very pretty
