Re: orchid question

But how do you handle a wire basket indoors? Mine, given its low light requirements, and desire for high temperatures in the 70s, will spend its life indoors.

Cathy, I have mine growing in a wire basket lined with sphagnum moss and
filled with bark/peat/soil mix. It acts much like a Staghorn fern and will
eventually cover the wire basket totally with growth. I used to grow it in a pot
until an orchid friend told me about the basket. It's much nicer and lets the
plant show it's true beauty.....in my opinion.

A few months ago I purchased a Ludisia discolor because of its (unusual
for an orchid) attractive foliage. It is a terrestrial orchid, and
today, as I was watering it, I noticed something emerging from one of
the drainage holes of its pot. Thought it was a root, until I looked
more closely - it had minute leaves at the tip! Do terrestrial orchids
spread by runners? What do I do now?? I know very little about
orchids...any experts out there, or any ideas where I could go with my
question?
