I'm still doing roughly 25% RWCubes and 75% LECA, as I showed earlier in this thread. A bit more cubes with phrags, paphs, etc. Have been throwing in the cubes each time I repot something, plus have repotted a few that were struggling with the dry line. Now that we're headed into humid season after a long, dry winter, I'm sure it's better with than without the cubes. I'm putting only LECA up to the reservoir holes, then a layer of cubes on top, then sticking in the plant and more layers as I pot it up.
I'm more than happy with the results, plus the sort of layering it in as shown in earlier pictures. I'll probably be following through on same with each plant I repot. I tried a 50/50 mix, but it just seemed too compacted for me and not enough aeration. My goal was to give exactly what Grodan site is saying "a very desirable blend of root aeration and homogenous moisture content."
