Aliflor is fine if you're willing to water a lot. If you cannot do that, -
or just don't want to - but want the advantages of a non-decomposing medium,
you might consider semi-hydroponics, but with a different brand of LECA.
Aliflor is not the best for S/H, due in large part to its spherical shape.

I hate Aliflor. Tip a plant and the darn stuff goes rolling all over the
place like a spilled bag of marbles.

I grow Phals in straight unadulterated bark. Medium grade. Works like a
charm.

Hi, Gang,

We currently grow our Phals either in spag or mounted. What would you
think about Aliflor for Phals?
