LARGE onc spacelatum

14 years ago

My spacelatum is so big it fell and broke from its currant teak basket it was hanging onto. It was of course in full bloom when it fell :-( So my question is what do you use for a container or how would you hang this 30+" across plant? I really want something that looks nice as this was my mums orchid and I like to show it to friends and especially family.

Thanks for any ideas!

I got a monster like that sitting in the saddle of a branch. The bottom of the branch is about 8" across and is nailed to a piece of plywood so it can sit securely on a flat surface.. It soon after splits into 3 branches which form a saddle. I put a big sphacelatum in there a number of years ago. It wedged so nicely that no ties or other securing means were necessary. It has tripled in size and will stay there as long as I live. I can barely lift the whole thing, it has a corner of the greenhouse and that's where it will stay. Too difficult to take to a show but I think of it as a member of the family.
