I suspect it's not really wood, but a chunk of coconut. If so, it's most
probably from Kerry's Bromeliads in Homestead and won't need [or even like]
cool temps.

It's also fairly moisture-retentive, unlike a wood mount. Kenni

I purchased a dendrobium orchid which is in a small log of wood
(literally) in a plastic pot. I have been thoroughly watering it once
weekly (and fertilizing weakly). All of my other orchids are in bark.
Should I be watering more frequently and is this a common way for them to
be planted? Thanks in advance.
