Linda - that is absolutely correct. The best time to move an orchid into semi-hydro is when they are in active growth.

The reason for this is that they are producing new roots that will be able to adapt to the new environment. Plants that are not in active growth will have the hardest time adapting and some will be lost. I currently have all of my orchids in S/H except for two Neo's that are waiting to show some active growth before moving into S/H.
