cool, Thanks Pavel for the information...

Ok one quick question. I recently also aquired a Vanda - Renathopsis Ng Chong Teng should it also be a basket case or would it rather be potted or basketed with media?

Diane, I didn't pick this one, Joe my partner did. I tend to lean more toward reds nice dark rich reds but purple is good too. Actually I didn't pick any of the purple ones. the big floofy one was an abandoned one, my other purple one was also picked out by Joe. LOL So there ya go. Joe purple Wolf red.

Renathopsis should be a good one for you then. Renanthera tend to have a beautiful intense red colour.

I'd recommend a basket for it. If you put anthing in the basket, it should be very open. Large lava rock (maybe 3/4" diameter) has been working well for a terete Vanda I have.

Thanks Sue I'll buy a it a little gift basket then. LOL Yeah that's why I bought it. It's NBS and I love the dark green leaves.




but stay away from my dogs.

Wolf - I'm more than willing to take that purple 'Floofy' one off your hands any time!!

[WolfinKW]

Naw. I like them all really. Besides Diane I think shipping would be prohibitive on that one... Big plant.

Vandas are my favorites , I love the color of that one . Gin

Nice one Wolf...As for Vandas and medium, I grow most of mine on galv. wire hooks bent into an elongated "S" shape. I set the plant on the bottom curve of the "S" (with its 'face' facing away from the wire,) use cable ties to secure it to the wire in one or two places, and drape some Spanish Moss over the roots...Hang in the greenhouse or on a tree branch, and you're set. So no...they don't need any medium, or even a basket for that matter...

That could get really interesting, fix up a little track for the wires to be carried along on. Have one mister head going and turn on a motor so they all run through the mist.... Hmmm ideas ideas. Sorta like those tracks at dry cleaners and you could have a remote and bring around the orchid of your choice. Hmmm
