Here is a link describing the full water culture method I interested in trying and referencing in this post.

 Well there you go!
I sat through the ex'es court martial, in retrospect I'm not sure why.... But I'm sure you can imagine how fun that was! |
Forgive me for my idiocy. I have not heard of either "semi hydroponic or full water culture methods" for orchids. I was taught by Jim Rice to use the traditional culture methods and nothing else. I only have 6 orchids so either method would be significantly too much work. If you find either method advantageous, you have my blessing (FWIW).
