Default Received flasks revisited

a cedar shim from our lab's flasks as shown in this picture and hanging them

What kind of humidity do you have in your environment? I have about
50%. Can I still mount ghost orchids, or do I need to put them in a pot?

Remember not to subject these seedlings to refrigerated AC for very long.


Not a problem. Haven't got AC, just a fan moving things around a bit.

If you have mounted your ghost orchids IN/ON sphagnum moss (as opposed to
Spanish Moss) you can (ie should) kiss them goodbye now before they take the
big crappola and die on you.


Ok, and what is spanish moss, compared to sphagnum? (I probably know,
but my botanical english skills are nonexistent)
