janet_a is on a distinguished road
my orchid-group guy found some low fired clay pots a year or two ago and got a couple to try mounting on; same principle as the SS's (which he is also trying). he put some little bitty things (probably bulbos--he's into bulbos) on the pots, which are small and shallow, and he hung them up in his greenhouse. he keeps the bowls full of water and the plants *LOVE* it. it seems the SS's should work just as well.

he did say that a friend of his who's using the SS's finds that the bottoms tend to weep a bit, but that's easily handled by just putting a saucer underneath.
