Hi Kevin.
I go along with that,
Quote:
grow an orchid in an old boot as long as they give it the environment/culture/conditions it expects.
.

Cymbidiums for example, I seen them grow in pure sand, in garden beds with lots of Clay type soil. In hollow logs with gravel in them.
In the same pot for many years were the bulbs have built up about 3 story's high. still flower but not as good as TLC plant.
Interest aspect if the above quote of Kevins is taken in context, they can and will grow in nearly any type of "potting mix" conditions.
Good growing
Ron
