Hi, David,

Although you did not say which species of Dichaea you purchased, I
purchased several Dichaeas including a Dichaea glauca from The Orchid
Connection. I find that theirs are planted in bark mix. I also was told
and am finding it to be so true that one should find out whether the
plant is a shade loving orchid or a sun loving orchid. In this case,
the Dichaea glauca is a shade loving plant which seems to thrive beneath
the benches of a greenhouse. I hope this helps.
