Stanhopea culture

13 years ago

I need some help from you orchid experts.

I recieved two stanhopea seedlings recently as in two weeks ago. They are Stanhopea martiana X self and Stanhopea oculata 'Eye Doc' AM/AOS. I have questions regarding to their care and what I should do. How do I put stanhopea into baskets and what kind of potting media do I need due to the flower spikes going through the media. And how far you think these seedlings are from blooming.

The Stanhopea martiana is growing a new lead and has three growths with three leaves on them. Any advice on the culture and care of this species as well as opinions are appreciated.

The Stanhopea oculata 'Eye Doc' AM/AOS X self is giving me a hard time for now. The plant has one new lead coming as the new lead that came with it rotted off, and it has one tiny flask backbulb and three bulbs with leaves on them. Any advice on the culture and care of this species as well as opinions are appreciated. And can you tell me what am I doing wrong.

I put some moss to keep in some humidity for these seedlings. And I am calling for help with these seedlings. Sorry if I asked so many questions. And I might need some advice to post pictures on this forum.
