I have a epi planted in some furnace filter material and am getting good results ...just found the first roots that have grown through it yesterday...getting ready to make a bigger test with a small pump and a drip system to keep it watered....I am actually thinking it might work for my coryanthes its a green colored fiber and suppsed to be biodegradeable but I am thinking it will last many years.

Woah! Great ideas. I am all fours FOR for making cities greener. Most of US cities really pale compared to european and asian. If anything seems like city architects around here want to kill everything green and put parking lots and large one story buildings.

If you don't read French you can translate the website with Babelfish or similar websites. The translation will be a little rough but usually good enough to understand.

It seems there could be a few different materials that can be used. In one of the video the material looks alot like washable furnace filter material. It seems like it won't hold moisture for any extended amount of time (like a sponge would).

Made a small wall in a terrarium.
How long do you run the water pump per day and how long should the fan run. I'm thinking the pump should be ok for maximum 1/2 hour per day can be done in 10 minute or 15 minute cycles.
How long should the circulating fan run?

Finish the terrarium wall. It seem like the plants will need lots of adjusting to having no soil. Hoping i will see them bounce back from looking wilted. I run the pump about 3 times a day for about 1/2 hr each time so far.
