    Default Rhyncostylis gigantea in spike, first time!

    Here's my first Rhy gigantea spike! Hope it keeps going! The plant is a little beat up from a harsh extremely hot summer

    Hi Angela. I used some seashells, charcoal, and a few bits of bark.

    I like the medium you have. I am trying oyster shell and charcoal. Mixed results so far.
