| Some of this talk surprises me. I've mentioned that I use the gorund up coir (here called coir peat) in my slipper mix because of its moisture retentiveness. But I'm surprised to hear how wet people say the coir chips keep the roots. My experience is just the opposite. I have a kingianum, a Den moniliforme, and a Coelogyne in coir chips and it seems they're always bone dry, except the kingianum which is grown outside and gets really a lot of water. Maybe I should stop beign lazy and water more? LOL
