Boo, don't scream too loudly but today I repotted the Neo. in sphagnum. I called Orchids Limited from where I bought mine and the guy told me how to get it to be on top of the sphagnum mound as it was when it arrived.
I'm sure this isn't the best time to transplant but I was obsessing over it as it had looked so pretty when I got it. And the little flowers were great and had a nice, soothing fragrance.
Am going to have to order at least a quarter cubic yard of med. size fir mix so I'll have it on hand as Spring approaches.
It seems like there are so many mixes these days but I'm just going to stick with what I know instead of trying the other mixes. Same with my vented clay pots. It was they I used when I first started growing the orchids and I'm comfortable with them but it's the dickens to find a place which will ship them due to the possibility of their breaking on route.
Lee.
