Thanks all for the compost info. The window faces East and gets sun till
about 1pm in Summer. With clear pots, would the roots get baked?



I wouldn't have thought so, certainly not considering most summers. Do
you use clear outer pots, then? I can't imagine you'd put the basic clear
orchid pot straight on a window sill or table. If your outer pots are
fairly solid colour, then you should have no trouble at all.

Sorry Spider I misunderstood you, I thought you meant clear inner pots and
clear outer pots

No mine are clear inners (supplied) and solid china outers. I assume the
gap twixt the two is sufficient.

As you can see from the pic, both have a one-sided growth. Despite turning
them several times during the year. :-

I refer you to my post of the 24th, that is their normal way of growing, see
the video of one in the wild.
