What potting media or techniques that work or don't work is very closely related to the rest of your conditions. You'll find a lot of Hawaiian growers using very compact sphagnum, as their conditions are such that without it, they would have to water almost daily. Bring that plant to my conditions and they'll be dead in no time.
Maybe with the dry air of Colorado, it'll be OK...

Ray it came from orchids.com. So California. And yes Colorado has exceptionally dry air all year long due to our elevation. Relative humidity is really not a useful tool here because the partial pressure of what the environment can handle in terms actual water content. Even after a rain storm if you take a deep breath through the nose you risk a bleed out!
Ray you're very knowledgable and I respect your input and for my part I can't tell you it's damn hard to keep my tolumnias from desiccating. So since the plant is very much use to the moss I may give this a try.
