NZ Sphagnum Miracle Media?

[Chlorophile]

Before I got my first orchid I spent lots of time reading and came to the conclusion that s/h seemed like the best option for me. Cannot over water, helps prevent underwatering, pot size irrelevant, media doesn't rot, etc.

The breeder I bought my phal. from highly recommends NZ sphagnum moss and says that her orchids do so much better in it than anything else. Reading up on it it does sound like a good media but I don't know enough to say if it's for me.

I know that like anything else orchid growing is going to have fads and new things all of the time and that media works different depending on your environment and care. I guess I'd just like to hear people's experiences and opinions. I already bought some deli cups and planned on transitioning the phal from sphagnum to s/h once it stopped flowering but I could just pot it up with fresh sphagnum.
