| This one really liked S/H!!!
This is my Maxillaria tenuifolia I bought last Spring at the local grower. It was sitting in a tiny pot with few pieces of bark. It was not doing anything at all for a long time. It separated into three plants when I was repotting it (!!??). There were no roots left to speak of. I just pushed it into S/H hoping to see something happening with it later. Here we are .....  You can see the old PBs so dry and the leaf is so wrinkeled and the new ones growing so plumb.... ... I am so happy to see something like that, just wanted to share....

Cool! Thanks for posting. I'll have to repot mine into S/H when I get the new pots in. I don't think I have a container big enough right now. It hasn't been on my priority repotting list. I'll admit that I'd lost the tag on mine for a while, so I thought it was a bulbo, and I probably would have stuck it in the S/H anyway.

Thank you, orchidea! I found this thread when I was looking for advice for my new max. tenufolia, which looks much like yours, with wrinkly lower bulbs which do not want to fill out. I just unpotted it, and although there are not many roots, new ones are growing. It separated itself into two plants, so I think I will put one of them into S/H and see how they grow. They were in a fine bark mix, but I will use a bark/fiber mix I use for oncidiums and see how that goes. It seems to hold moisture well, and I know they don't like to dry out.
