Then I think it could work for you. The laziness I referred to is in locating local sources for appropriate sized rock. With inorganic media like this, you don't have to repot as often as the media isn't breaking down.
I only use clay when I use a traditional pot due to heat/moisture retention issues. I've used it successfully with many dens including spectabile. I haven't had the good luck with net plastic pots that I've had with wood baskets- or clay for that matter. Anymore I only use net pots with things that want a lot of moisture like oncids.
Just what works for me though, your experience may be totally different.
(plastic baskets have worked well for me though)
