Wintering and dormancy with S-H/LECA culture

[nutgirl]

I started with S/H and was very pleased but as my plants (Phalaenopsis) went into larger pots I had trouble with root rot. Since my growing conditions are similar to yours I moved them indoors in winter but it still was a problem. The root zone was too damp and cool.

I switched them back to regular potting material. Naturally some species love the extra coolness but not the Phals.
