As per the chat, Monto Clay, Montmorillonite Calcined Clay, came up when talking about Akadama being great for orchids that need more water retention around their roots while in active growth. The concern was that Monto Clay degraded and turned into mud in the pot which is NOT something we want for our orchid roots. I have looked into Monto Clay, and have to say... according to what it says on the packaging it should behave just like Akadama and I have had great success with Akadama. Unfortunately, at this point in time I cannot troubleshoot with the viewer in the chat, as to what may have gone wrong. Here is the link from where I got my information:
