Sylvi, what is that dendrobium you have in the background? and how is it mounted? (sorry for threadjacking, just curious).


No problem - it's Dendrobium lawesii 'Red x Orange' - and it's potted :oops:

If you want to see a step by step saucer mounting : It's here (an article on Orchid Talk).
Unfortunately, pictures are cropped. I'll post them here soon.

Eric - How big of saucers do you use? Here in the USA it is getting difficult to find saucers as deep as the one you show, usually half that depth. Do you think these will work OK? I'm going to try it any way with some of my orchids, but wanted your opinion.

Thanks!

You're welcome, Moist. And thank you Nenella.
I use different sizes depending of the orchid (5cm to 20cm in diameter). I also used "flat" saucers and it works. Like this one (about 1cm high) :

and the same model for this Dendrobium :
