But as I've mentioned, too, come morning, their roots are the classic grey color of roots that have successfully dried before the next watering. With the 30-60 min steep, I had roots that suffered the drying of the rest of the day.

So I guess I need a happy medium. I'm not sure what that is.

I thought you were growing them in vase culture like in the Vanda in Glass Vases sticky in the Vanda-others forum and were emptying the water out after an hour or so. I would think they would be happier using that method where the humidity would be high but the roots could still breath.

Cheers.
