I haven't gone a whole year -- only about 6 months. I've got a Pleurothalis restrepioidies in semi-hydro in my house. I had been using moss, but worried about it rotting. So I moved to SH.
I used smallish beads and put it in a clay pot and put the pot in a saucer for the reservoir. I have a fan that blows on it most of the day. I think with the constant water and cooling evaporation, I am providing a better environment that I was before.
I do have to fill the saucer every day or every other day. I could probably put the fan on a timer to limit the evaporation, but it seems worth it for now.
Since I moved it, it has grown a leaf much larger than the three previous ones and I can see roots winding their way around.
