VANDAS: In Baskets
Because "potting on" with them can be a problem, start with three inch baskets for seedlings and when necessary move it whole into a four inch or five inch size, and continue this system (move both plant and basket) the roots are not damaged nor set back; fill in the spaces with pieces of charcoal; Florida.
