Now a small Orchid planted into a half a coconut shell - that I really like!! With some holes drilled for drainage.
You mention Sphagnum, Crittergarden, I am happy you ditched it. I used to say that in my ( heavy watering -) hands Sphagnum moss is the Orchid Undertaker's most favorite tool……Personally, I love those cheap mats of coconut fiber, people line wire baskets with that to use as planters. I pull it apart, so it is not so dense and use it instead, many times just to anchor an Orchid until it is attached to whatever.
