Okay, so that is fascinating. I did not realize that so many people on this forum we're doing that.

Of course now I want to know how. I want to know how you go about preparing the plant for the media. I saw someone who put water at the bottom and let the roots just hover above it for humidity, then I saw another person who soaked the clay balls for a good 10-15 minutes then drained them and then she didn't water again for a week. What is the method that you all use? Does anyone have any photographs of their plants growing in the media?

I have too mini phals that I need to repot soon and I was seriously considering using the semi hydroponic method so that I could observe the roots better.

I also get these little stupid fungus Gnats all the time. They are driving me crazy. Right now I'm using a Apple cider vinegar and detergent trap for them. It seems to be working okay but they're still there, so I was thinking that the hydroponic method would avoid those little gnats from being around. Is this true?
