Beautiful! How are you growing it? What is the wood behind it?
Hi,
This plant is a climber. There is a thread from a while ago started by TDT (Tracey from Saskatoon) that discusses how her besseae is grown.

The culture and potting is the same for this plant. The basic media is a fine bark mix or a mix of 50% sphag and 50% sponge rock but there is a thin layer of sphagnum moss in the front to stop the mix from being washed out of the hardware cloth in the front. It is the same culture that I use for any besseae or besseae hybrid (cool, moist and intermediate light) trying to compensate for the fact that some of them, or maybe all of them, like to climb. I can go into more detail if you want.

Very impresive the results you are having with this growing system, congratulations.
Do you keep it dump all the time?
Thanks.

Very nice April Fool !!
What an interesting way of growing besseae... Maybe I should try it, although my only one doen't want to climb.
Can you tell me about repotting of your plants? Is it more difficult than in pot?
