I grow all the Cym in Semi-Hydro with great success. The Cym Golden
Elf has broken several pots because the roots grew so strong. Much
better root structure than other methods we have tried.

Weng, have you read Ray's discussion on Semi-Hydro? It uses a solid
pot with weep holes out the side up about 2 finger widths. That way
there is some reservoir of water but it is not hard to flush or for
the plant to breath.

Susan,
Many thanks for the suggestion. I will certainly give it a go. Ray's discussion can be found at http://www.firstrays.com/hydro.htm
