I agree with the rougher bark. I've had a devil of a time getting the orchids onto some of the palms. Have managed in the end but taken longer than I would have thought. I am now being rewarded with blooms galore--of course the wet summer has not hurt! I fertilize a good bit and I think that has made a huge difference (of course not being away for 3 months at a time may have made a difference as well!)
18 inch baskets--I'm jealous! Can't find any here of any good size!
