Semi-Hudro Culture
#PhalaenopsisOrchid we shall see! Excited to try this method. 2 days in water, then I will let the roots air dry for 5 days, then 2 days in water, and so on. I use orchid bark for my orchids normally, but this way I can see the roots and don’t have to worry about gnats!

@HumaneGabisan77 interesting!! do you have an leca or other material in the water? I think maybe what you are doing is called semi-water culture, as semi-hydro usually involves some kind of inert material in the reservoir/base. I’ll look forward to any updates you may have! Do you know how you might stake any flower spikes you get?
Mine did amazing as an aquatic orchid. I live in AZ so my normal humidity is a fraction of what they need, I simply could not keep it hydrated otherwise.
