Thanks Amy - The moss is purely decorative. It's hiding the ugly string.

And I thought you had a secret method of keeping them flowering for a longer period :o))

I just give it as much light as possible short of direct sunlight. They like having their roots exposed to air so let them sprawl out of the pot. They don't like their roots buried. Just mist the roots with a spray bottle every couple of days. I use a standard orchid fertilizer you can get at any garden center. If your air inside if very dry, consider getting a humidifier

Thanks for that Paul , I do mist and use a fertilizer in the growing season ... I'm thinking they would be better off hanging from a string in the shower Lol ..

LOL, if you check out my blog on the Orchid Show, that's exactly what they like to do - hang from the trees.
