So it has been almost a year since I started using these fabric pots. So what outcome did I get...I would say it works great for the orchids! Maybe it is a combination too of better growing conditions as last year was also the first time I brought the orchids to my growcamp. There has been real good airflow around the plants and by their root zones.
My noid orchid which won't bloom for the past 4 years has given me a bloom this year. Oncidium Dancing Lady loved it, it held on to the blooms from September 2012 to late February 2013; My Zygopetalum loved it too, though it has not re-bloomed yet, but I can see the leaves are happy. Well, the Den smilliae, this is a mixed one, it did have a rebloom on this container right after I moved it there, but during fall to winter, I may have left it far too long in the cold ambience, so the leaves all dropped now, just bare canes, but I can see the roots are still alive, so there is hope.
I like that during summertime, since it has been too hot and dry, watering the fabric pots assures me it is draining well, and the wet fabric is also a source of some needed humidity while it is wet.
So that's my observation..and I think I will move some other orchids in this type of container.
