There are many different ways to pot catts (and most other orchids). There
is no miracle mix that works great for everyone. The proper pot type, pot
size and potting mix depends on your growing conditions and how willing you
are to adjust your watering schedules for different potting media.

styrofoam peanuts in the bottom of a clay pot and then wraps the roots in
moss and sticks it in the pot. When he moves up to the next pot size he
just pulls it out of the pot, wraps some more moss around it and sticks
it
in the bigger pot....


Sounds like it's a matter of convenience for him.

I pot catts of all sizes in Diatomite. They grow and bloom well.
