Hello!
I think as long as you can provide good humidity and ventilation to both its foliage and roots, it should do well.
I tried two different methods of growing one of my common Phal. hybrids. Both started with almost all their roots trimmed off and comes with 4 leaves each.
One tied with its roots in a ball of sphagnum moss tied to a fern bark slab.
While the other tied to just a plain fern bark slab.
my growing area is bright and breezy and I water both of them once in the morning and once in the evening.
1 year later today, the one with the Sphagnum moss has 12 leaves and a 18 flower blooms (spiked 3 months ago). While the other struggled with only 4 unhealthy looking leaves and no spike... I guess my area is too windy even though the air is humid all year round.
In this video, you can actually see Phalaenopsis is growing with all their roots exposed on tree branches, but the swampy environment ensures that it get good humidity.
So back to the same point, as long as you can provide good ventilation and humidity to your Phal. I'm sure it will thrive in various kinds of growing media...
