Al, My Naples Night just put out a new leaf and has the start of a nice,fat, root.I have fallen in love with mounted orchids and am thinking about mounting this one. Tell me, how are yours doing on the mount? Are you growing them inside or outdoors for the summer?  |
Hi Pat,
I put all my phals outside on a covered deck last month. The temps then were in the 50's at night. Now the night time temps. are in the 60's. They are all doing well, both the mounts (mostly species) and the hybrids (in pots).
The P. Naples Nights are both mounted on the same piece of cork. I have them placed so they get a little brighter light than the others and both are doing well.
Go for the mounting! They look so natural and I think they perfer this way of growing. Besides, it's actually fun to do after the first one. LOL
