Marianna,

Only try basket culture if you can give the plant the watering and feeding
regimen that goes with it.

I find that laelias do well in ceramic medium in a standard plastic pot. It
hold enough moisture - not too much - but provides lots of air flow to the
root system.

I recently got my hands on this seedling. It has 5 growths with either
one
or two leaves. And at the present time, two of the growths are yellowing.
It's in a two and half inch pot and is in bark media. As I understand
this
particular species does well in baskets, and does not like root
disturbance.
The only information that I was able to dig up on this orchid is that it's
from Brazil and produces two to five flowers from March to July.
Currently
it is about 5" in height.
I would like to move it into a wooden basket but I'm not sure what to use
as
potting media. Can I get some information on how to handle this
situation,
and how to pot this orchid into a basket. I have several size baskets,
all
wooden, some square some round, some shallow others are deep.
Information greatly appreciated and many thanks in advance,
