Well I am of no help really, I just wanted to ask if you wouldn't mind sharing your presentation with us when you are finished!
I do have a very small experience to share with you. I received a NOID Nobile Dendrobium, the person who sent it to me previously grew it in s/h medium/culture, so that is what I put it back into since she shipped it bare root to me. I think the roots dried out a bit before I was able to get ahold of the s/h medium, so when I put it back in, well it had to re-root it self. Since I purchased an orchidarium, it has really bounced back. I have noticed some leaf pleating occasionally, which I have been surprised to see with s/h culture. But it has grown roots all the way into the water reservoir area and seems quite happy and is growing growing growing. Obviously since it is in s/h culture, it isn't getting a winter rest like I have seen recommended, but I could swear that some who use s/h culture have not needed a winter rest. I use RO water when watering and I use MSU-type fertilizer at a nitrogen dosage of about 125 ppm. I water once a week and use fertilizer every three waterings, and then the fourth I use just plain RO water. I am probably over fertilizing, so if I am some one please tell me. I plan on backing off on the fertilizer on the winter, which is about now. Well that is my only experience...I am sure others will have some great info for you!
