SH or vase culture????

[Raver]

I have been reading about SH and vase culture but i'm not sure if i'm understanding it right. i want to try the SH or vase culture but i'm not sure which one is better and what kind of orchids do good in this methods. i have 3 phals, 1 paph, 1 Wilsonara, 1 Miltassia and 1 oncidium. Do any of this orchids do good in SH, vase culture or both???? I'm all confused lol but i wanna give it a try since my orchids dont get enough humidity!!!!! plz everyone help =(

You can put phals into the semi-hydro. But i'm not sure about the rest. I would recommend either a humidity tray or a fine mist humidifier.

Miltassia might give you problems. The others- Wilsonara and Oncidium- should do well in either vase or Semi-hydro.

i think everything i ordered will get here by thurdays and no later than friday and then i will have to let it soak for about a day. i will be probably posting up pics by sunday!!! i just noticed that most of my orchids have new roots growing

[cindiras]

New roots growing? Perfect time to repot!

[Raver]

right on, most of them have at least 3 new roots growing, so does that mean i'm doing something right then lol

[cindiras]

Yep! They like the conditions you have them in.
