| Apart from Tolumnia, which seems to have a cult stance of being impossible to grow in S/H, the only plants that won't particulary like it are those which lose their roots naturally for periods of the year, although I've heard that pleione do well in S/H
If you look at other threads in this section you will see all sorts of orchids in S/H growing very well.
Like growing in other media, you just need to strike a balance to give the plant what it wants.
Phrags will be kept wetter than paphs, Catts will be allowed to dry out abit like phals etc.
I've got a fair few different plants in S/H and all have shown strong root growth straight down to the water.
My best Cattleya was suffering till I put it in S/H where it was able to get the moisture it needed, and has now flowered. |
