New setup
I've spent the last few weeks repotting into clear pots and prime agra or aliflor. I decided that I didn't like the idea of saucers anymore either so I came up with a cheap solution for a humidity tray: drawer organizers and lattice...take a look. I love it!

Thanks. I have 5 clear pots left, so doing the math, I repotted 45 'chids in the last two weeks!

Very cool Susanne. Looks like you's put together a great working chid area. Still located on the patio area to the left of the property. Looks great girl...

Yes. There's a hump in the bottom of the pot, the entire bottom has slits and holes and there are yertical slits on the sides. Very nice, I love them.

Ahhh, those are the exact pots I had purchased, I really like them as well. Did I read a thread that you said you were not doing the s/h just the prime agra and aliglor?

Yes, just the medium. I got some prime agra from Ray and some aliflor from a local supplier. But I am switching everything over to clear pots. I now have a big box in the garage full of clay orchid pots and saucers!

You'll be glad you did the pot exchange, it's like all those roots want to see what going on in our big world... I still have to convert a few myself, in due time. Sounds like you have been busy though...sweet busy that is
