African Violets and Gesneriads: Does anyone use the Texas potting method?, 1 by RainGazer

I've heard of it, but don't know a lot about it. Seems to be along the lines of how you use an Oyama planter. Roughly the bottom 1/3 of the pot is filled with perlite, then on top of that is your regular AV mix, and you keep it sitting in water to about halfway up the perlite, so it can absorb water as it needs it. At least that's the way I understand it. I'd love to hear from any of you who do use or have used this method.

Thanks all! :o)
