    It's mounted, no moss just some fern root and grown cool. Daily misting, less in winter.

    Very nice! I have just bloomed two seedlings and one looks like Gerrit’s and the other like Sabine’s

    I pot my plant with stones and watering weekly, in summer sometimes I spray the roots. In my Greenhouse in winter I have a high humidity, mostly 80%. The plant doesn't need to much water. In summer at day I have 30% at night 80%. 19122020 Barkeria whartoniana (1).jpg
