Lovely blooms. Always love fragrance

Dear April, How much light does this plant require?

This one seems to prefer more sunlight. It's currently in the bedroom which is west facing, I've expermented with it a bit but it does better with more sun. I have also heard they do better mounted than in orchid bark, but currently this particular plants roots are overflowing the pot so they dry out pretty quick, although I'm thinking when its done blooming I'll mount it.

Where do you live April?

Mounted requires frequent watering. Does your schedule allow for daily watering? If not potting is better. But with the right orchid mounting can be a better outcome. Show a picture of the roots...

Thanks for the tips! I found some inexpensive and nice looking cork at petco, meant to go in a terranium for lizards, snakes ect. I think it will work perfectly!

Look for fine gage single strand green wire. Some orchid supply stores or radio shack. Or internet. Nice to have but DO NOT use it on trees. It will kill them. Great for cork mounts. Add a pinch in the cork crannies of sphagnum moss above the roots.

I would repot in a larger pot. I think in your climate growing indoors, it would be happier potted. Mounting with heat on in the house is too drying.

JMO,
