Nice growing! Fragrant, I assume?

Awesome! I really like the pronounced eyespots. You also use a very unusual potting media. Im curious about why you chose this media instead of the traditional spag? Thanks for any info!

[ericst11]

i chose that media because i got hit with scale and i remebered as a kid and doing hydroponics that a hydroponic mix holds less pest and less rot so i took all my plants and repoted them in this mix and treated them for scale and haven't had a problem sence and on top of that i've been flowering stuff like crazy ,like never before in the 8 years of growing orchids.
