Hello phrag growers, I'm wondering if there are any of you out there that have observed certain species growing in the wild, and if they inhabit sloped areas what they average degree of sloping might be. I know that some species can grow on vertical faces of rock, but if there are other areas that they normally are found on what that might be. This is also a question for disa growers, about what degree or lack of sloping might be found in their natural habitat, and if there would be tolerability for a species to grow on a slightly sloped surface, or if it is 'almost always' found on a relatively flat area. If there is little to no perceptible sloping to an area usually, then that is useful information as well. This might be better asked if I put forth that I'm mostly interested in how much sloping a person might generally find for besseae species habitats in nature, and what perceived angle that most besseaes seem to take in elevating themselves out of the pot. Many people would like to know how to keep their plants from climbing out of the pot, so I'm wondering about addressing the issue in a certain way.
