I actually grow the remains of mine in S/H with good success. I put the old bulb that was all I had left in a S/H pot and several years later I have 3 growths which are getting bigger with each successive one. It loves the wet when there is plenty of air, I'm just careful about water on the plant.

Mine has been sulking in LECA with a puddle of water at the bottom of the pot (semi-semi/hydro!?) , but I think it's starting to come right again. It has a number of new growths, which I'm happy about; its roots were quite sad when it was repotted from bark into LECA, so I imagine that's where the setback occurred.
