Default Phal. parishii from Thailand -Arrived; Pic

The "parishii" I ordered from a guy in Thailand arrived, EARLY !! I drenched it with mist (which didn't take much) and hung it from the lip of this vase and sealed the top with plastic wrap, with a little gap. You can see from the picture that it needs quite a bit of rehydration.

I plan to remove the plastic at night (or maybe just open it up more - whatever seems correct and keep it mostly covered and enclosed during the day.

Maybe this will be the beginning of a larger mounted mini-garden!

Suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Also decided to leave a small gap in the sealing plastic wrap on opposite edges, maybe to get a little convection thing going on.

It looks like a nice plant that has had a long journey… I hope it turns around for you. Looks like a reasonable setup… as you mention, air circulation is important too, and the measures you mention may be enough to address this. If you get a bit larger (fish tank size) you could add some little fans (and more plants!).

I would hesitate to put Phals. into an enclosure unless the leaves dry out rapidly. I soak newly arrived bare-root plants for 4 hours or so in a mixture of Kelpak, bioprotectives, and very small amounts of fertilizer and table sugar, dissolved in rain. I suggest you water by soaking until root or leaf growth begins, then let the plant's leaves dry before returning it to the enclosure. The leaves will dry before the roots. Water again when the roots turn silver.

Also, I think Phal. parishii is a sturdy plant that doesn't need babying. Recall its climate is hot all year.

Yes! It actually has four spikes. Not sure if they are still viable but time will tell. Not interested in the spikes at this point (except as a matter of curiosity of what they will do). Mostly looking forward to the plant stabilizing.

The ventililation plan seems to be working. The leaves are practically dry and the exposed roots are showing signs of not being recently saturated, but alive. The tree fern plaque is still damp. I gave the roots a careful little squirt of mist, and misted the bottom of the vase and recovered. I was thinking of uncovering it at night, but the 90% coverage seems to be working well.

There's a continuously running room fan that definitely is influencing environment. So basically I'm just watching it hour to hour.

Thanks for your great sugestions. Unfortunately, the species (mounted) hasn't been so sturdy in my open-air environment. I failed with one that I bought at an orchid show a few years ago, despite intensive care.

So I understand the concerns about keeping the plant too wet. I will be sure that it is dried off at night. Thank you also for reminding me of the idea of soaking it in an antifungal, mildly nutritious solution. I will want to remember that !!!

Very excited to report that the two remaining top leaves are both rehydrating. Otherwise no apparent new growth to date. That would be too much to ask in the span of two days.

I'm misting it twice daily. Covered, in its tall cylindrical vase with minimal double venting during the day, half uncovered at night. Keeping an eye out for mold.

I have another vase that is even taller and wider (think large bunch of gladiolas). In case any of the spikes are still viable, they need the extra space. But the same basic care can be given. This is all exclusively under LED spotlighting. Still thinking about permanent home for it after Intensive Care stage.
I know I've seen vertically oriented terrariums but haven't tried finding them lately. This design would be ideal for me with long, forked branch. For this and other miniatures.
