Good luck with all of these! One thing I've read a lot of is that Dends. seem to suffer the biggest setbacks in s/h, albeit, temporarily. Even when they're actively growing, people have reported lots of setbacks with their Dends in s/h.

Please update their progress and hoping they all thrive.

Im just one example but my dens are growing like mad after about one month in their new semi hydro culture.

How is the Iwanagara doing?

Hi Greg,
I'm getting more and more interested in s/h and am wondering what mix you use?
Thanks!

Quite a list Greg!! A few quick questions. When you removed your Oncidium Twinkle I assume that you put it back into the mix it which it was originally potted. Did the yellowing stop then? Is it growing OK? Any chance of getting some pictures? I am especially interested in how the Lava Burst does. Thanks for sharing all of the info.

So far I have only tried 5 phals. and 1 oncidium, about 6 weeks ago. They all seem to be loving it, new roots and some new leaves too. That's for the phals., can't really see much change with the oncid. yet.
