FWIW, I indeed gave a try to S/H with my two Dendrochillum... they both seem to really like S/H.
Dendrochillum magnum has produced two new PBs plus roots, and then decided to take a rest again after the PB becoming mature....
Dendrochillum glumaceum has produced 8 new PBs plus roots. Not all PBs are yet fully mature!
As expected, no blooming so far... I hope for next season or later on... (to be honest, I am not sure when is the blooming season for these two species!)
One thing I have noticed with them, is that they also seem to be VERY VERY THIRSTY... I have other 3 plants next to them (Oncidium, Paphiopedillum, and Phalaenopsis), growing in the same conditions: S/H, same pott, same LECA... while the water reservoir of these 3 other keep some water for up to one week, the reservoir of the Dendrochillum is empty within 2 - 3 days!! So, that at the beginning I thought the two potts were broken... so, I have to water them more often...
Does anyone have similar experience with "over"-thirsty plants in S/H?
