I love that there's a new section for S/H! I received my supplies from First Rays and Grow in Hydro (I ordered from both to see how service was from each co.). I used some of Ray's S/H pots with the holes on the side, some glass vases, and some plastic take-out soup containers (which look like Ray's pots, just w/o holes). I repotted all of my phals, a doritaenopsis, and one catt. I also repotted a paph that had lost all of it's roots and had been in a soda-bottle greenhouse with sphag for over two months. It had little green root nubbins, so I repotted in S/H and then took Ray's advice and put a plastic bag over it to create a greenhouse environment. It's too soon to see progress, but I'll keep you all posted.

One sad thing, I had a sick, sunburned phal that had a great root system but only one leaf left. I repotted in S/H, and two days later noticed the leaf yellowing. I put a plastic bag over it and moved it to a shady location, and when I checked on it yesterday, the leaf fell off! There was mold at the base of the leaf and on the crown. I put cinnamon on it b/c I didn't know what else to do. It's still plastic bagged. Any opinions?
