    Interesting… I would think it would be living along with moss in nature…

      Not as much as you would think. Every one I see in the wild I see lichen but not moss. I have no clue where the moss came from but it's too late to transfer the ghosts.

    Definitely a visible difference in the roots after using a closed plastic tub....I think she was doing better before the tub.....and allot less moss. She definitely needs the airflow like being out on a tree...I think its better to just spray her daily....and I would leave the lid off and keep a skiff of water in the bottom of the tub ..

      Yea I'm thinking same thing. If she would have loved this would have been notable difference.

    Maybe you need to put one of those computer fans in the box to circulate the air?

      Maybe. I do open the box in the morning to give fresh air. Then close back after couple hours. But a fan maybe the ticket.

      @@hillbillyorchids I would love to buy a ghost 👻 orchid one day! Can this one take up to 100% humidity? I would love to place it in a glass dome or tiny green glass house lol 🥰🌸🌞👻💦

      @@ileanavalerio3637 Well so far mine is doing ok in 100% I am allowing open air flow early in the day. So it does dry some. Make sure if you buy you get from a reputable seller. People are known to rip them off trees illegally and once you do that in days it will die! So you spend big money for nothing. They are not cheap orchids. I got a flask when they were $50.00 now they are $100.00 or more!

      @@hillbillyorchids I too started mine from flask last summer. So far about half have survived. I grow mine in a terrarium with my mini orchids. My mount doesn’t grow moss on it. I have it set to 70-90° humidity.
