Frederico,
I know Im kinda late to this discussion, but I actually have a question about the basket that your Stanhopea is in. Ive often wondered if using bamboo rather than wood might be better for Stanhopeas, mostly because the roundness of the bamboo means that a flower spike has less of chance of getting "stuck" than with square wood peices. Is this so? Also, did you make your basket and if so, what type of bamboo did you use, how green or brown was it when you assmbled the basket and (finally!) does bamboo last as long as wood does before breaking down? I know this question was long winded, but I really appreciate the input! Good growing as well!
