I decided to try s/h a while back after visiting the firstrays website. It does work, but I can't say that I have noticed a huge difference over my other orchids. About recreating your own setup: 1.There is nothing special about the pots. All you need is some kind of container with a few holes drilled or cut 1 1/2 inches from the bottom. 2. There is no special growing solution. However, you have to take into account that there is nothing organic in the medium, so go easy on the nitrogen. I'm not sure about using perlite, though. You have to use something that wicks. Here is a pic of my Phal bellina that I planted in s/h 6 months ago and has finally spiked.
