Paphs in sphag

[Lagoon]

I'm using sphag moss on my phrags and peat moss, small bark, perlite mix for my paphs. I like the drying on this, more eveness though out the mixture.

About the clear pots - I get mine from the deli counter, they're cheap as in free

I like free things..... . I will def. try my local deli

I bought small bark at paradis des orchidees. I will re-pot in that. I find new bark dries out waaay to fast. Can I soak the bark for about 1- 2 days to help it retain more moisture?

Some folks like to soak it overnite. I don't, I think it takes to long ... so instead, I soak for about 5 hrs and add a few drops of dish soap to help soften the wood. It just works faster for me this way.

Gloria, I was wondering what type of peat moss...just the regular sack you buy for gardening? if so, do you have to sterilize it in any way first? I've haven't used peat moss for 'chids yet. I now have several paphs and need to repot very soon, so all this info is just in the nick of time!
Thanks !
