Very nice Ron. I'm just getting into the orchioides Utrics and have recently started establishing a few different kinds of live mosses on cork and tree fern plaques to mount some on. I've had longifolia for quite a while and have quelchii, nelumbifolia and a few more species on the way. I recently got U.reniformis 'Enfant Terrible' (a miniature cultivar) in a trade with another member and it's spreading surprisingly quickly. I see it having the same "weedy" potential as U.longifolia.

My latest acquisition into the Orchidioides section - U. campbelliana

very nice acquisition mobile! im sure there's more than meets the eye concerning undergrowth. happy growing!

I am going to be receiving some U. humboltdii soon, and was wondering if it does well in the same conditions as U. reniformis. I grow my reniformis in a sphagnum slurry and it does well, would the same thing work for humboltdii?

[amphirion]

yes it should. the two of those used to be in their own section, Iperua before merged in with Orchidioides. there's a spectacular humboldtii clone that requires a peat based mix, but seeing that you're in canada, the chances of you obtaining it are pretty much, zip.

Will do good sir! And yes, zilch, I am just happy I don't have to buy it from BCP for $25...

What is a 'sphagnum slurry'?

What would your standard mix for U. humboldtii be? I have mine in dried:fresh Sphagnum moss and it just sits doing nothing.
