Quick question...Do you know if Aussie Gold orchid medium is okay for miltoniopsis or if I need to get a different medium?

I'm not familiar with Aussie Gold mix. I went on their site and it doesn't specifically mention miltoniopsis, but it looks like it is good for keeping things moderately moist which is what milts like. For my own growing situation, I use mostly New Zealand Sphagnum mixed with a bit of bark, chunky perlite and charcoal mixed and they seem to really like it. Ive only been growing milts for 2 years and my first few that were mostly in bark with a bit of sphag mixed in didn't do as well, until I put them in my current mix. Now I have quite a few new growths, roots and blooms But everyone's situation differs.

Mine did very poorly in AG media and I don't recommend it for this group.
