I stuck the epi's in the soil and mulch- they are growing like weeds.
I tried the same with Vanda and vandopsis- good results, they are deep rooted now. Happily growing- so I am not going to put them in baskets. So far I have not had trouble with snail or slugs chewing up the leaves.

The Epi will make keikis in the spring.

I too grow many epi keiki in hydroton. Once they have formed roots (usually after one year outside)I grow them in part bark and pumice.
Ken, what kind of soil and mulch combination are you using?
