We do not use any media at all in most of our baskets for
vandaceous plants,
in our natural high humidity. If your humidity is lower, you
may need some
media, but I would suggest something that dries quickly --
big chunks of
coconut husk, or big chunks of lava rock with a little
coconut fiber layered
in.

Please see my reply to SuE. My house humidity is very poor but
I hope I have it somewhat improved in the micro-climate it is
in.

In the tiny mesh basket I have some cut pieces of styrofoam
peanuts, some of those ceramic rocks (I think that's what they
are) that I sniffled from some of the bigger pots I have in the
same case and a few bits of bark.

I think it'll drain pretty quickly but I will mist it daily now
when I do the Neofinetia in consideration of SuE's comments.

Thanks for your help. Hopefully one of these days I'll
actually be able to move it to a real slat basket. In other
words, hopefully I won't kill it between now and several years
from now.
