I wrap these growths with sphagnum & keep it wet. They root quickly. When I repot I usually divide the plant by the height of the growths.

I use several different types of clear pots. I have many small fans keeping constant air flow over all my plants. I find the only ones which dry faster are the ones with slits. Grow phrags in these as I let them occasionally sit in the water. I haven't notice any type of pot (of the same size)...

henryanum, Barbara Larkin, Golden Palace, delanatii alba. I don't usually use the discounts. It's not that much and I want to support our dwindling number of suppliers.

Recent speaker talked about Disas. Supplied our raffle table. Cleaned up winning four plants. The ones in clear pots are the result of repotting one. Hope I can get them to grow.

I've seen the paph paradise plants. They are nice. Windy Hills has great seedlings & divisions for reasonable prices. Wood Stream has flasks , bought one. About 15 good sized seedlings. Apparently it is difficult to get seed pods to develop. When they have seedlings they sell out quickly.

First bloom seedling I bought from Orchid Inn. Partially open and fully open
