I'm jealous.

Are those all seed grown?

The Grao and Scarlet Tears were root props, the rest from seed.

What kind of soil were you using for the burmannii? Also, do you happen to know the humidity around the plants? Share your secrets.

The burmannii was sown on peat/perlite, probably with either an all peat or peat/sand 1/4" topcoat. Humidity is household + tray watering micro climate, so maybe 35% to 55%, depending on the season. (The grao lives under a dome for most of the year, the rest are naked to the air.)
