Cattleya Moon Bells seedlings on orchiata medium
Default Cattleya Moon Bells seedlings on orchiata medium

I have received several seedlings in a flask and I decided to pot them in orchiata (smallest size). I didn't read the instructions first and I soaked the medium briefly. I read that you could have problems with the pH. Do you have to adjust the pH of the water when you water? Some people add dolomite but I don't know what this is or where to buy it.
How often should you water? The seller sent me one seedling in Pine rind fine about 75% Perlit about 5%
Charcoal 15% Cork 10%. He
fertilizes with ca 400-600 micosiemens but I don't know what this corresponds to and how often? He told me that in this medium, now in summer, he waters every day. How often should I water in orchiata?
I decided to put the seedlings in a mini green house but with the lid half open as I've had problems with root rot with the lid closed. I also had problems with sphagnum and root rot maybe because it is Cattleya and this is why I changed to orchiata.
