I don't know if I would call this semi-hydro because it was just a "what if" moment I had.
I received a very large overgrown C. guatamalensis and divided it into two sections which were planted normally but had a third division with one pbulb with a leaf and 3 pbulbs with no leaves. The poor thing sat in a bucket of water for two nights and should have been pitched. I put it into lava rock, set the the clay pot in a plastic saucer and added an inch or two of fertilizer water to the saucer.
I still have the three bald pbulbs and one pbulb with a leaf but I also have a new growth starting, about 3" tall now and lots of new roots around it. Someday when I'm bored, I will inspect the roots and see what I actually have in all that rock.
I flush the pot once a week and replenish the saucer water. Does this even qualify as semi-hydro?
