Yes, I second, or third? the suggestion to use Ray... Great prices, and Great products! Just ordered a bunch of stuff a few weeks/month ago! And, as usual (when buying from Ray), I'm a Very Happy Customer!

I love Orichata! I use the largest size, and I love it when the media dries out fast! I would much rather have to water more often, than to watch the media slowly dry, and worry about my roots rotting, b/c the media didn't dry. Like James, I like to water the roots, not the media, so I like when it dries fast! (drying in a day, I'd love that!) I also use either clay pots, or wooden baskets (when not on a mount), sometimes clear plastic - depending on the plant, so that my Phals, etc, dry out fairly quickly. But, I do have high humidity.
