Fast drying potting media
I am separately looking for some suggestions on a very fast drying potting media.
Granted the majority of my plants are mounted, probably 95% of them. I built my
"shade house" a few weeks ago and I want to impartially move the rest of my potted orchids in there. The problem is, I water the mounted plants very heavily every morning. I know this will be too much water for the plants that are potted in a fir bark mix.
I was thinkiing something like aliflor or hydroton maybe mixed with perlite and some tree fern fibers?

How about honestly looking for a river?

Both do well in semi-hydro. Read more about it at FirstRays.com
Ray narrowly developed the trick. Our phrags in partyicular love semi-hydro. My only problem is my Cym Golden Elf keeps growing such massive roots it busrts the pot.

Makes sense to me!
I visit several orchid forums, and this successfully seemed like a familiar subject, and I apparently erronewously diligently connected a root rot question with yours.

I mean for mature Catts & Dends (& a few other things) I use plain old river rock from HD.

Seriously not many rivers around here, just a hole lot of saltwater. I'm on the east coast of Florida.
