Well.... my experiment was a failure my orchid stem did not root. I just took the moss off of the stem last week and it looks exactly the same as it did almost a year ago it is still green and alive so it might bloom for me again.. Part of it could be my fault I couldn't keep it moist enough it would dry out every day and i had to spray it every evening to rewet it. Sometimes I would forget about it and it would go a couple of days with out being wet. Maybe next time I will try the keiki paste
