These are all of my orchids at the moment (minus my two jewels) my partner says weâre done for the year. (I just got into orchids this year lol)

This is my Tolumnia, it didnât come with anything for soil so Iâve just been watering the roots frequently. Iâm trying to decide between moss or moss and bark đ€

Itâs lovely! Mine came the same way. Iâve got them in net pots with bark. My reasoning is theyâll have moisture without drowning
1 gillaYeah Iâve been having a lot of trouble with repotting I know youâre supposed to ease into it and everything but my orchids are so thirsty but weâre super humid because weâre by a lake so I donât want to drown them so I put bark (and cuz thatâs what everyone says) but the bark dries out too fast.. so temperamental these beautiful plants

I am a big believer in bark but a bigger believer in finding a mix that works for you. If you are having issues with them drying out too fast, could try cutting in some sphagnum next time you repot. I personally wouldnât go above 50%. I wouldnât pack it in, but keep it light and airy. In the interim, you might top dress with sphagnum. Itâs not that orchids are fussy, but they do like things just so.
