Wow, didnt know the moss is that important. Now i just want to rip off all my bark and use moss. But it seems to be quite expensive here.

I have read that water orchids planted in moss has to be placed in a dish so the moss can soak up the water from the bottom up. And water from directly above will cause bacteria slim to grow which will block the breathing pores of the moss.

My mum also read in an Taiwanese book that when planted with moss, you must repot the orchid each year. Is this a fact or myth?
