| raising orchids from flasks is not a beginners project and the Ghost orchid is doubly hard since it has no leaves or pseudobulbs.
The plant seems to do best in Florida when grown in a wet environment like near a pond or stream and it seems to like citrus trees.
It is a temperamental plant which will take a long time to flower and even then can go years between flowers.
The few people I know who raise it do it for the challenge. There are many more rewarding orchids that are easier to grow.
The entire plant is a root that will grow on a branch. Since it is bare root and no pseudobulb for reserve water, it needs to be on a regular watering schedule which can be several times a day in a dry environment
