I listened to a webinar on Maxillariella tenuifolia where the host suggested growing these orchids in sphagnum moss and hydroponic mesh pots. What do you suggest for indoor growers?

Based on the needs of the plant, this sounds like a viable potting scenario. There usually are multiple ways to meet an objective. In this case, you want a medium that retains some moisture, and also provides lots of air to the roots. this approach works, but you don't have to go out and buy special pots. A lot of our members use the semi-hydroponic system (developed by Ray, one of the frequent contributors to the Board.
Free Info - Semi-Hydroponics ) This may work for you too, and give a low-maintenance way of managing this (and a lot of other) orchids. Check out the
Semi-hydroponics Forum.
