I thought it might be easier to have everyone post their project photos on a "clean thread"? I know that Sandra has some ideas on getting this project off and running in a slightly different format but this might give us a place to compare original pics until it is ready to go?
Here are my two plants as they arrived last Friday. Phal has three leaves and paph has one small new fan just starting besides the original.
My intent will be to repot the phal into my coir mix and leave the paph in bark.
