That is interesting to know!
So adding some bark to leca will keep the whole mix a bit more moist retentive I guess?
How long have you grown your plant this way?
I would love to try my cattleya this way. I mean my cattleyas all grow well and all, but straight bark seems to stay too wet for them, and straight leca or hydroton seem to dry out too much for me. |

I've had this vanda for about 2 years now. Always grown it this way. I grow indoors so growing them the natural way is too time consuming. And after seeing someone bloom theirs in pots, I thought I'd give it a try. You may want to add some sponge rock too and some sphagnum too. This plant has bloomed every year for me

Pilot, I do not have any bellinas or violaceas at all. However, I do have a Phal cornu cervi in SH and it's doing okay. Actually I nearly killed it before, and it's now slowly coming back. I grow it under T5's and so far so good
