Using Orchiata for Phalenopsis violacea Hybrid

[bogdan]

I don't know what's the issue with the Orchiata that I'm getting, but it is transforming into flat "slices", like it's molting. It is also compacting if I use it alone, so therefore I have to always add Hydroton or Pumice, otherwise even the largest size would hold too much water. The humidity is 40% and there is quite a lot of moving air from the fans, but I still find it difficult to water properly. Does anyone experiences issues with their Orchiata?
