My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
It's mounted on cork with a sphag pad beneath and sphag on top of the roots. The mount sits on pebbles in a bowl with some water, at the edge of a partially tree-filtered southwest window (It doesn't get much direct sun). The bowl only shields the mount below the pbs, but it in turn sits in a tray of water (which is packed with other plants in bowls or on perches). Every morning, I mist the leaves and saturate the sphag with distilled water. The room has a fairly vigorous fan some 15 feet away, and if I remember to turn this off at night, the sphag is faintly moist the next morning; if forget, then it's bone-dry. (So the plant tolerates some abuse.) Once a week I squirt fert instead of distilled water to soak the sphag (1/4 tsp per gallon of Jack's 20:20:20 plus 1 T per gallon Maxicrop), but the leaves still get misted with distilled water. My feeling is that out of all this, the light is most important for blooms: brighter than Phal or even Oncidium light but less than Dendrobium and Catts. Sue
