I have to pot a Phal and a new Dendrobium in saucer. I'll do a step by step report for you.
Awesome, Eric. I was planning to try this so I will wait until I see your step by step!
@ Bruce : maybe you can merge this last post with the article ? Thank you.
Step by step with a saucer "ready to use" :
All you need, very simple, almost nothing ! NZ AAA sphagnum is the best, you know that.

Ok, that looks almost too easy. And the phals in the background look like they were recently shined!!
I was hoping that you would say that. You do a wonderful job of growing and your plants show it. Thanks for the tips, the tutorial, and the beautiful inspiring photos.
The miniatures especially look so great! I love your Leptotes on the saucer. I was thinking about doing something similar with a couple mini phals, basically doing a moss mound like people sometimes use for Neofinetias, but I wasn't sure what I could put it on. Do you do any horizontal or are they all hanging?
