My Neolauchea pulchella putting on a little show. If I had a greenhouse and could keep it wetter...

Phrag Shoshone River, from Woodstream

I added a fan to this area. This guy likes it..

My Oberonias have a problem with direction.
The consistent Isochilus linear.
My Bulbophyllum ambrosia, because we water so much it grew mostly off the mount. Time to adjust the growth.

Phrag Summer Sun, had a little problem with rust (mites), I think.

Love the isochilus! Such a pretty plant, i’d consider the cute pink blooms just a plus. will it grow with warm/hot temps?

Well looks like you saved it & it rewarded you with a bloom (& more to come).

Room Temps in our apartment, generally warm, which is why I added a fan.

I found a site online, Burnt Bridge Creek, that had some terrestrial orchids, so I ordered some, Serapias, Disas, Pterostylis, and Pleiones

My Tolumnia basket. I used to grow them. Maybe I'll look for a few more.

I thought I could stop rotting Jewel orchids by growing them in inorganic media. Nope. Any advice would be welcome.

Don't know what you did to it...it is an easy plant to grow...like a weed. I grew them in a clay pot with Pro-Mix(a pea base potting soil with some perlites), moist or slightly dry...for sure not soggy.

Are they staying too cool? I've heard they like to be warm. Maybe wet x cool gets them.

I used to grow Mocodes and Ludisia into huge masses. Now I can't keep them from rotting. IDK what's going wrong.

I’ve had good luck with the Atlanta Botanical Garden mix in clay for the few that I grow. ABG mix.

It holds water well. And I haven’t been able to overwater, and forgetting to water for a few days hasn’t seemed to matter.
Of course ymmv.

I was not having luck with moss, but I will get some more plants and try the mix. Thanks
