Brassavola in sphagnum?

[MateoinLosAngeles]

Anyone growing nodosa or nodosa hybrids in sphagnum? How are y'all doing?

Got this Bc. Yellow Bird which is 75% nodosa. I have the species and other hybrids growing great for me in bark, perlite, grodan cubes, and lava rock in wood baskets. I know nodosa is very frequently found as a lithophyte on seaside cliffs. Roots are relatively resistant to water salts, have crazy and wild growth patterns, and like to breathe whilst staying constantly moist. Albeit easy to grow under many circumstances, I've found nodosa and its hybrids doing better when kept on the wetter side instead of letting them dry out. So I make sure to add extra grow cubes and plenty of perlite for them.

I think they would do great in Sphagnum, but it would probably increase the need for repotting, and if grown in baskets, that would mean breaking a lot of roots. Yet, I don't think growing in a regular pot would be an option, as I think they resent it when they can't extend their roots.
