paph potting mix

[SlipperGirl]

Hi

I am new to paphs well I am new to orchids but very new to paphs so sorry for all my silly questions what I want to know is will this potting mix work for my paph in my environment

6 parts medium CHC
3 parts #4 sponge rock
1 part #2 charcoal

I live in Michigan so summers are about 80 90F and up in the summer in the winter the house is about 65 70F. Humidity in the winter is 50 60% is what I try to keep it at and in the summer the humidity is very high. I plan on growing my orchids outside in the summer inside in the winter. Thanks

When I was using CHC on paphs I used 3 parts CHC and 1 part each of sponge rock and charcol. Yours' sounds close enough.

Bill, what do you use mix do you use now?

Tucker, I've been using Orchiata for the last year or so. I find it to be less of a hassle than CHC.
