I have a Gramatophyllum elegans seedling which was a "freebie" when I first started with my addiction. I didn't know what to do with it, so I just planted it the way I would a cattleya with all the roots in the mix. It sat (literally) for two years and did nothing except turn lighter green or darker green depending upon how much light I gave it. Then some of the roots started showing above the mix and it put out a new growth. So I would say that it needed the catch roots in order to grow.
I tend to underwater somewhat and my greenhouse gets very warm in the summer (Houston, Texas). Susan Taylor
