Oncidium repot in Ecoweb cubes?

[greenpassion]

I have 90% of my orchids in S/H, using Ray's leca. But I do have a few in bark, and 2 in moss. These that are not grown in S/H, are in the pots and medium that I purchased them in. One is a "Jerry 'Pacific Empire'. I know I could put it into S/H, but I'm curious about the Ecoweb medium. Would this J.P.E do well in this? And do I water and feed as I am currently doing with it in the moss? And, anyone know how oncidiums do in this medium?

I've never use ecoweb for my oncidiums but sure would like to hear what others have to say about it, most of my oncidiums are mounted on ceder and do well but the need to be watered more than the ones in a bark medium.

Ecoweb isn't going to hold moisture like sphag so you'll need to water a lot more frequently.

I have a few small catts potted in it...so far, so good but they haven't been in it for a full year (full growth cycle) so for me, it's a bit early to make any definitive judgments just yet.

Side note -- it's very light weight so it's not going to support a heavy plant very well. Even after the roots take hold...a top heavy plant could topple over fairly easy.

I am also using it in the bottom of pots to take up space and increase aeration and drainage. I can say it works great for that. Again though...very light weight so it might not be the best choice for a large/top heavy plant.

I am looking for a non-organic, non-degrading moss replacement, too. Red lava rock works for most of my orchids but there are those....

I'm using ecoweb in a modified sh method. No it does sick water but it doesn't need to. The plants using it are neo hybrids and they seem to really enjoy it. I like ecoweb a lot because it allows you to see more of the roots than if you were to use hydroton but as mentioned it isn't heavy so it could let a plant topple. I use a glass vase as the jar which solved the problem and gives me visibility if the roots.

Ray has pictures on his website of a dendro. big. in an ecoweb pot with primeagra as a medium. That might work for a heavier plant.

I have a cat. walk. potted in an ecoweb hanging pot with ecoweb media.

Here is a link to his website that has the picture on it:
