| The fundamental question you and all the rest of us are perpetually answering here is:
How can I give my orchids what they need?
Different orchids have different cultural needs one of which is water. Some like it dry others like it moist. So if an orchid likes it evenly moist (for instance) what mix is best given the other conditions I have (heat, humidity, etc.) and my habits? Ultimately the orchid doesn't care what it is potted in or mounted on if it is gettign the culture it needs. I could be growing my Paphs in my old t-shirts for all they'd care if it provided the gentle, even moisture they need.
So when considering what mix you use, also consider your other conditions, how humid it is, how warm, and your habits, how often you like to water, if you mist, etc.
Happy Growing!
