A couple of months back when I first got this plant it was in
a 4 inch pot and needing to move up. Being confined to the
(small) greenhouse at the time I made a decision to just throw
it into a clay orchid pot with LECA.

Since then it grew so much that today I put into the last pot
it should need and also semi hydro. The two best things I
have noticed about growing it in LECA are:

1) How easy it is to control the moisture to the roots,
2) How much the roots (and plant!) had grown in it.

It was toppling it's orchid pot. I put it in a much larger
one as that is how it is done with semi. I'm impressed.
