Though it contains calcium, It is not that soluble and the point is to raise the ph of the irrigation water so that particular plant will have the optimum ph for its nutrient intake. If your tap water is hard. Most likely you have calcium and magnesium on it already and if you are using complete fertilizer. If you are watering with RO water, it is recommended to put 10% of tap water back to your RO water to augment the ca/mg.
For basic culture, plant in fine fir bark, charcoal and perlite with just a little bit of sphagnum moss. if you can maintain 50% humidity that would be excellent. I feed every other watering and light should be 400-800 fcs (for uniflorals) and they should do fine.
