I have seen a FB group where they use Full Water Culture (FWC). They take the orchids (typically phals, but sometimes they do this with others) and place them in vases, bowls, cups, jars, whatever...

I've just started drilling glass and this makes sense. Not drilling 2 holes will be a bit easier, especially on some of the smaller containers I'm using

FDK After Dark new growth continued

My FDK After Dark has a new growth and I wasn’t sure about re-potting and dividing yet. Also there was a comment that it could possibly be a spike and not a new bulb. Well, I’m pretty sure it’s a new...

New leaf on BLC

My mounted BLC seems to be growing a new leaf! I'm not sure if it was there when I first mounted it, or if it's grown since then, but I figure this means I must be doing something right.

So, when it's time to repot I can fill the pot with sphagnum and as long as the pot drains well, it shouldn't rot the roots? I don't usually use sphagnum in pots, but this FDK is very new to me and...
