Looks like everyone has different growing habits and different mix.

Mine are currently in coconut husk chips, in aircone pots with extra holes burned into the bottom for extra root aeration.

This has given the best results I've had in 5 years.

Most of mine are in coconut husk chunks, perlite, and charcoal. 2 are in S/H. All but the summer bloomers are either blooming or in spike.

Seedlings are in clear pots, extra holes for air, media is straight perlite with a layer of sphag (for anti-algae/fungi protection).

All of them watered S/H via a shared reservoir.

Lights and fans, try to keep humidity about 70% but it creeps higher sometimes.
