With a controlled environment...

Forgive me, but John lives in Florida and you live in Italy. Why do you
think you can grow your orchid like he does?

Thanks, John. Now how do you get it off the frigging mount, or shall I
just bury the whole mount in the bark? I don't have a
basket, but a net pot would probably do okay, I guess.

I have my L. pumila in a 4 inch basket with a medium bark mix. This
allows
it to drain quickly, but not dry out as fast as a mount. I water mine
twice
a week and it is in 60% humidity. It has grown very well, but has yet
to
bloom. It seems that it is now blooming size and hopefully will bloom
next
spring. Although mounts duplicate natural growing conditions, I have
not
had
much success with mounts and have moved nearly everything to pots. I
have an
Encyclia bractescens on a mount that does extremely well - weed like
perhaps, but I have killed or "maimed" nearly everything else on a
mount...

Okay, I am not doing well with my pumila on a cork mount. I am a
windowsill grower. Can anyone suggest anything with lower
maintenance like SH or something? I have to water everything at the
kitchen sink, and hand watering four to five mounts once or
twice a day is too time consuming.
