Default Paraphalaenopsis Eileen

Hi Ray,

I have 2 seedlings that were and are still very small. I potted them in 2 in
clay pots with a small amount of coconut fiber. They are located in a shady
spot on the lanai and are sitting on a piece of carpet padding so they have
extra moisture around them. They have been in the pots for a year. I'm
thinking about mounting them in 4 in baskets, but may wait till they get a
little larger.

Also what are the 2 species you have?

I have a flask of each of the paraphal species that I'll be potting up
shortly, and I suspect that'll be upside down in pots for the short term.
Is that going to be a problem?

The only one I've ever grown was a mature Pphl labukensis - 3 feet of
pendant rat-tails.

Fantastic! I have noticed mine had a tendency to blast if any water got
on the inflorescence; I see yours is hanging pendant from the mount.

Did
you mount it upside down, or did you mount it upright and it's just
grown that way?
