Smile How'd I Do

I finally got the nerve to try something new with my 'Chids'

I want to show my first attempt at S/H thanks to Jay's help
How does it look, Jay It is an Encyclia 'Nursery Rhyme'.
It is so small I just went ahead and ordered a larger one from Jerry and am waiting on pins and needles

The second on is my attempt at Spagh and Bag. It is a Little Mermaid. I have dampened Spagh on the outside of the pot also and I will keep it damp to add humidity. Any suggestions

Enc Nursery Rhyme does very well in s/h. I used to do a lot like that. However, once the roots take hold it is impossible to remove the hydro

Terry, looks great. Congrats on your first S/H. You will have to keep us updated on how it does. One of the things I love about S/H is how easy it is to see root growth. Just remember that airflow is very important so that the roots do not rot. Any fan on the orchids will do.

I like the sphag n bag. I too would like to see how it does.

Looks good. Can't wait to see how the little guy does in the S/H. Jay is a great teacher.
