Oh, noo, I grow my ziecks, mastersianum and violas in sphagnum with living fern. Best way for them, I think.

Pretty cool!

What is the leafspan of the plant?


Is there more than I growth?

LS is about 15 cm, there is a blooming growth ( I mean in bud) and an older, but this old one is slowly dieing back.

I keep it in sphagnum with living fern on K-lite diet.

Thats a good way dodidoki, I have done this a few times with other orchids. The fern seems to keep the moss fresh, and at the right moisture level but you have to be careful not to let the fern get too big or it will be very difficult to repot without damaging the paph roots. Can you show some other pictures using this method?
