Ray, am I correct in thinking that Tolumnias are one of the genera that does not do well in S/H? Do you think it is just stays moist in the LECA.

Mine are hanging, some on mounts, some in tiny clay pots. Daily spray down and under 600W Metal Halide. Starting to see some reddish color.

Anything that keeps them wet will kill their roots. I would err on the side of letting them be too dry, rather than enclose them like that.
