Joe T,
I am only now trying s/h for the first time -- I bought 3 s/h pots, and have
repotted one orchid into it thus far, and plan to repot another this
upcoming weekend. We will see how well they do in it for me. Up until now I
have known when to water orchids that are in moss or in transparent pots or
both, but if they are neither then I have tended to water them on a fixed
schedule (for example: once a week) since I cannot tell when a non-moss
non-transparent-pot orchid is dry. Amazingly enough even the orchids that
are on a fixed schedule are for the most part doing just fine or even
thriving beautifully, which makes me think that our desire to water them
precisely when they need to be watered may be a bit overrated since many
orchids will adapt to a less than perfect watering schedule.

J Fortuna, that is good information. Clear pots sure beat guessing
and/or poking around on top to check dryness. I switched to S/H and one
reason was the guessing game of watering. You are a smart lady!
