This is a great thread. I just repotted a Phal earlier this week in a mixture of Cocogro coir, bark and a prepackaged orchid mix (with Hydroton in the bottom inch of the pot- same purpose as the styrofoam "peanuts"). I was worried that the coir was too fine in texture. Now I'm feeling a LOT more confident that it will be a mix that will work well. I think I may have FINALLY stumbled upon the answer for what I should be potting my Cymbidiums in! It gets very hot (typically 100+ and occasionally 110+) and dry up here in the summer and I cannot seem to water my Cyms enough. I will try to get at least a couple of my Cyms switched over to coir so I can test the theory that it will make my plants a lot happier (as will putting up shade cloth!).
