Does this mean they need very airy media in cultivation?
Hi David, from my observation in the wild i would say intermediate and highland species/hybrids need very airy and loose media.

In our lowland conds. we need to provide cool,moist environment, and loose media. Over time the compacted media should be loosen. I think most of us were already doing thess without realising the importance.
