Perhaps my media has promise then. When I got my plants, knowing they liked moisture more than the average orchid, I added approximately 50% chopped up long-fibered sphagnum moss to the standard orchid media for those Bulb. My Bulb. plants seem to like this so far. I tend to grow my orchids more on the dry-side, particularly when they are inside. The sphagnum moss idea was all I could think of to alter the drying out that is so common with my plants. I have also begun to add the chopped up sphagnum with some of my tiny seedlings, and this seems to work better than the fine orchid media I have been using. Time will tell. I am, and probably always will be experimenting.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
