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.

Funny, I tried that because I kept rotting them and still rotted them. How much light? I had them in a north window.

In my greenhouse, but on the floor shadowed by the stairs hand rail. Not dark but not very bright.

Update

Disas from Burning Branch Creek doing OK.

Update:
I guess I can grow disas. Luckily, they came potted in a Sphagnum, perlite, etc, mix, so I couldn't screw that up. In a tray, with leca under the pots, watered from bottom only.

Update: Pleiones coming up.

What an absolute achievement, Eric! I have now straggled through a year with flaskings of D. uniflora from Wally Orchard and know you have worked hard to get here.

Thanks. I think avoiding watering from the top is essential.

Epidendrum calanthum alba
Unfortunately, has a ridiculous growth habit

 

[NYEric]

Maxillaria has started blooming

 

[NYEric]

Phal tetraspis alba hybrid

 

[NYEric]

Stinky Bulb. pingtungense.
The plant is blooming from a terminal end where I made a division. When I checked IOSPE, I noticed the same thing.

The proprietor at Burning Branch Creek Gardens sent some replacement Serapias and a Pleione to make up for damaged plants. Shipping is a b-+ch with these. Thanks.

One of the Pleiones is almost double the size of usual blooms!
