What you are doing is working for 6 months, and my thoughts are that the roots have adapted in that condition.
Remember that many people grow paphs successfully in S/H culture where the roots are constantly wet.
With this said, I personally prefer "conventional" way to grow paphs. Whatever works. 
Beautiful flowers! Congrats and thanks! |
All species are programmed to adapt; it's called evolution! And orchids are all marked by a worldclass ab ilty to do just that; it's humbling.
But, my modus vivendi, is to honor those millenia of evolution within each plant, to fathom and meet their needs and not demand they adapt further. After all we are growing them in cultivation. I envision and try to emulate the natural world to the extent I can.
