Trying semi-hydro for three orchid plants

[Kmac]

I've been quite curious about S/H, and so this afternoon, I repotted 3 orchids into S/H:

Hwra. Lava burst--received in early summer, a bit worse for shipping in the heat, I think. and it just never has thrived. Thanks to a recent thread here, I realized that I probably was keeping too dry. But, I am neurotically afraid of overwatering, so I am hoping that even if the orchid doesn't do any better in S/H, at least maybe I'll find the whole watering thing less stressful.


Phaius Tankerville "Rabin's Raven"--small plant, recently acquired, and I was told it might like S/H.


Purple Phal, NOID. perfectly healthy, but I know its been in that spag a while, and wanted to repot it now.

I liked the potting process...getting the media to fill in around the roots was very easy, and the plants feel well-anchored in it. Now we'll just see how they do. Any comments or advice welcome.
