I bought a rochussenii last year. I put it in a 6" plastic hanging basket which I fill with the same mix I use for pretty much all my Phrags, bulbo's, Oncidiums, etc. It's a mix of 80% small fir bark, 10% med charcoal and 10% sponge rock with several sprigs of sphagnum mixed it. I line the inside of the pot with coconut coir to keep the mix from escaping the mesh basket. Not only did it flower nicely for me but now it's growing over the sides of the basket. Seems happy enough. This pic is from early December and it's added 4 or 5 new growths since then.
