Btw, trying to think of how Orchid grow in nature?
You will see anything from horizontally growing on tree branches (Iguazu) crawling up trunks of trees, sitting on top of large stone boulders fully exposed, in forks of trees, crawling over the ground, on huge slopes which are constantly washed over by Springs, at the edge of a river, which is many times totally submerged, fully exposed on rocky places and so on!!
If you can imagine a habitat, it surely exists.
Just dig up my Ecuagenera trip ( there were times when I was afraid to walk through the underbrush so I wouldn't crush them with my clumsy feet) or even the Iceland, Greenland trip here on the forum, if you like. I still have prints of Orchids growing in Brazil and Bolivia, perhaps I need to copy them with my IPad....
