Here is what I am growing in the smaller rock:
Zygopetalum
Dracula papillosa
Oncidium cheirophorum, Oncidium sotoanum, Oncidium Twinkle 'Fantasy'
Mini-Cattleyas, including C. schilleriana and C. aclandiae
Brassavola
Psychopsis Mendenhall
Dracula Papillosa
Paph delenatii
Cycnodes Wine Delight
Phal bellina
Phal schilleriana
I will be adding the new Encyclia when it arrives (it will be bare-root) and, in the spring, the Cycnoches.
I live here in Ohio with dim, dreary winters so I need a medium that continues to allow air to flow around the roots. The larger lava rock was great when I was growing Standard Cattleyas and larger Angraecums but the current orchids seem to want more humidity around the roots which the smaller rock does quite well.
Surprisingly, I am really getting into the miniature mounted orchids as I do not have to worry about medium at all.
