I’ve just got in horticultural rock wool sheets that I’ll be lining terracotta pots with (sides and bottom about 1cm) planting in a mix of LECA with a little finer charcoal and pumice. I plan on keeping the plants low in the pot 2-3cm below the rim for the moisture/humidity demanding species. I’ve approximated this with Pleurothallis that was challenged by the lower humidity and moisture gradient of the medium. The results have been phenomenal, with 5 new growths in the 2nd week when previously any new grows would brown in a few days of onset.
