Thanks for the input. I had two reasons:
I lost roots because they were simultaneously too wet (at the bottom) and too dry (at the top) for most plants in the norm s/h containers (still have some phals and dendros in there though), plus my previous growing conditions weren't that great (light, temp, etc).
The other reason is that a lot of my plants are commonly grown mounted -- so I figured growing in hydroton/net pots would retain more water than a piece of wood which would be better than either too wet or too dry (and a better fit for me
). Almost all the plants in the net pots have nice roots growing -- but I guess just not enough water to support the vegetation -- so I'm watering (drenching each one) daily now. I'll try and keep this thread updated with how that works, hopefully with pictures of blooms!
