for my friends who are looking for an update on my orchid experiment: unfortunately, she has died. i caught it too late and the crown began to rot, and she was simply too small to save. HOWEVER, i have taken the opportunity to instead purchase an orchid native to my area for better luck and this experiment will be resuming shortly. i am now too dedicated to finding out if i can manage a completely epiphytic plant
