    I think I did pretty well. I almost put the neo on wood. I have the oncid already on the driftwood...maybe I will transfer it. What do you think? As I said earlier, wish me well. I would live to find a new species that likes to flower here. I rushed the milt and the two masd.'s back into the house as soon as I got them potted. I doubt they would like the 80% humidity and extreme bright conditions out back.

    Nice bunch of healthy plants and some great roots. And yes, looks like you have the start of a seedpod as well. I keep my Neofinetia in moss. Now I am probably going to get shot for saying that because I know alot of people here do not like moss but I do and it keeps them well. The only thing with moss is unless it is live moss you have to replace it more often and if it dries out you need to make sure you rehydrate it well or the water will just flow right through. Same with the Masd., mine are all in moss. I like to lift plants to see if they feel light (need watered) and I think it is easier with moss than bark.
    Congratulations and enjoy. My only concern with the Masd. is understanding if they are cool, intermediate or warm lovers and in my case I also have a case of the shivers thinking of spider mites which I have been fighting in my Masd. for several months.
