Default Oerstedella centradina care

While buying a D. kingianum yesterday I also got a small stem of Oerstedella
centradenia that lay on the floor as a present. It is one stem with some
leaves and a few flowers and one thicker root. How do I make this one stem
survive?

Hi Barra, After potting up the plant, take 3 stakes, push them into the side
of the pot then make a teepee structure by tieing together at the top.
Fasten the plant at various places depending on which way it leans.
Once the plant gets growing you can remove 2 of the stakes.
Cheers Wendy

My wife like the "dainty", small orchids. This is one of them. Our plants

do very well under a variety of conditions. The light is high cattleya
light; mix is med bark with sponge rock and coconut dust. I have one mounted
on bark also (include some spaghnum). It grows slower. I'm not sure it likes
it as well. Lower phal light doesn't stop blooming although the plants grow
a little taller. The one thick root will hold the plant well in place. Give
it a 4" pot to start. Those thick roots will go everywhere in a short time
if it's happy.
