I read a post about using large coconut husk chunks in a pot, and basically having a mount within a pot. The pot keeps the humidity higher around the roots, also draining, and the roots cling to the damp and drying coconut husk. I am not sure why coconut husk was used, except that it was by that particular poster. I also do not remember what kind of plant, but I know if I get a Brassovola, I would pot it like this, as I live in a very low humidity area too.
