thaks Fred! As I am learning how to make sphag work for me instead of against me this is perfect timing. I mentioned earlier in another thread I was putting consideration towards moving my Bllra. into sphag to see if helps keep the pseudobulbs from shriveling away! And now I have decided to definitely give it a try Thanks Fred! (PS I want that Restrepia lol never seen the flower on that one before )



I think it was when I started growing Neos when I really wanted to use it and not kill stuff in it hahaha. And then had some good luck with those and stuck a failing Bifrenaria in it and its taking off now. And you are right Freddy it's all about having the right conditions for the plant to be grown in it

I actually took some pics earlier before I watered the plants of some of the ones in sphagnum moss. I will share It would be neat see what everyone has that is growing in sphag that is working well for them also

1. and 2. are Bifrenaria harisonea (sp?)
3 and 4 are Neos
5 is Sederia japonica Nagoran
6 is my big Neo falcata
7 is Masd but it is mixed with fine fir bark

I have a few other things doing good so far in it like various jewel orchid seedlings and a Paph insignia seedling too! I had tried an Angrecum seedling not really knowing anything about them in it and quikcly killed it
