Sounds like a good candidate for s/h culture. Anyone know a source so I can experiment?
Well, there should be some in the USA... Sangii is very similar in its behavior.
Many times, people are scared by rot, but in fact I found out that for some species, if the roots dry out a little bit, there are many wounds that open, the tip dies as well nearly overnight, and it is the entry door for diseases, that 'rot' the plant or even the base of the plant ( if sangii dries out too much, the base of the leaf dries first, leaving a lot of dead tissues and cells...). If you can keep them wet all the time, they never rot.
If they dry out, they need to be repotted again, the dead root tips removed, etc... and it is very complicated. If you just water after a drought, the plant will eventually succumb to rot after some weeks or months, depending on the length of the roots (the dead root tip will rot, and it will move upwards to the rhizome).
Dimorphorchis lowii, rossii, some vanda, the esmeralda clarkei and cathcarthii, paphio randsii, anitum, etc... are very fast and easy growers if they are potted like terrestrials, kept wet all the time.
