Thanks, Jim and Des.

Joe, what ppm are you fertilizing your phrags at?
My paphs I only water once or twice a week and fertilize once a week. Is it just the calcerous paphs you water with tap, or all your paphs?

My Phrags, and all other plants, are fertilized at 150ppm + the TDS of the tap water (appx. 225ppm), so ~375ppm.

All of my Paphs are watered with the 225ppm tap water. I add lime to the calcareous Paphs' potting mixes too, though this is not necessary.
