WHAT KIND OF POTTING????? for my phal

[Ray]

Help - where are you located? "America" doesn't narrow it down much.

Also, before deciding on a medium to use, there are a lot of things to consider. You might want to read Choosing Potting Media

ive decided either bark or s/h but im still not sure// i have a phalenopsis

[Ray]

I'm just north of Philly.

A phal will do well in semi-hydroponics, and bark as well, although you may need to water it more often in the bark.

Give us an idea of your growing conditions, and maybe we can help guide you.

where can i buy the stuff that goes in the pot for s/h and what brands of bark are good that you can get


umm. its inside, gets filtered sun and gets hot in summer and real cold in winter

[Ray]

No phal is going to do well "real cold".

I am the originator of semi-hydro culture, and there is good info in addition to stuff for sale on my website.

[Call_Me_Bob]

not real cold... but its colder in the winter than summer bye about 25 degrees i would say

IF you want to take this into a direct email conversation, I'll be happy to help you decide what would be best for your situation. Sometimes a kit is appropriate, sometimes not.
