Howearas are quite like tolumnias in that respect.

In semi-hydroponics in a dry household, the wicking action has a hard time
keeping up with the evaporation rate, so the "wet/dry demarcation" is
relatively low in the pot, hence the root system tends to stay drier.

I could be wrong Joe, but I think Leptotes bicolor is a plant I'd not
put in
S/H (tolumnia being the other). I'm not saying it won't work, but mine
are
on tree fern blocks hung up high in the GH where they see bright sun and
high humidity, and they seem to like the totally dry periods between
watering.

If anyone has experience with them in S/H, I'd like to hear about it.

Ray, I bought a division at my society auction in May 2005 and not
knowing any better immediately potted it in S/H. It responded with
plenty of new growth and so far seems happy (I posted photos in a.b.p.o).

Are you growing in a greenhouse or windowsill/underlights?

I have a vague recollection of Howeara not doing well in S/H,
but it's been insanely happy in my house.
