VANDACEOUS ORCHIDS in LECA & SELF-WATERING - How are they doing?

#Angraecumdidieri #Renantheracitrina #RenantandaSunrise
My Summers are extremely hot and lack of humidity is an issue. A year ago, I decided to try the self-watering set up with the majority of my smaller #vandaceous orchids. So, I welcome you to join me on my little 'look see' while I check on what they are doing! Included are #Renantheramonachica #Renantheracitrina and #Vandachristensoniavietnamica amongst others. As always, I value your input ... let me know in the comments below if you grow any of these, or similar, and where / how you grow them! Thank you very much for joining me :)
