Thank you I will read the first rays articles.
Orchids like 100-200 ppm nitrogen. Phosphorus too much is actually supposed to prevent blooms. If every species of orchid is different how many species are they doing tests on. I can't find a 3 1 3 3 1 2 or something similar. I've always wondered why people don't use 5 5 5 instead of diluting a 20 20 20. Orcids prefer 75% nitrate 25% ammonium. I don't use meters are test anything. Costa Rican water is supposed to be very clean low ppm I know someone that tested one of those clay pot water filters and tap in Costa Rica it was the same no difference. I use a life straw water filter. Its made out of plastic. All the RODI water filters are made of plastic. The storage tanks aren't but I've always wondered. I need a Hanna ph meter for the berries.
Bamboo is controversial. I have bamboo already. Theres clumping and spreading my closet neighbors are 100 years away. I don't have black orchids growing on black bamboo but the contrast of greens here and there might make the black on black pop. You can eat bamboo and its the most sustainable resource. People even make charcoal out of it but I know once you plant it its difficult to remove and the runners and neighbors.
The roots that turned yellow were dendrophylax lindeni those and skinneri is all im trying to focus on for the time being. Orchid roots kind of grow from the base not the tip like hair. I always want to think the tips are growing. I was going to use some kelp I have 10 different water bottles spray bottles just kind of got side tracked with this catt. Kelp is a very lite fertilizer but has all your micro and macros. The fertilizer should have what type it is ammonium or nitrate I rarely see them with sulfate boron all the other stuff. Thanks for the help free nitrogen ions is what I'm trying to achieve even fermented fertilizer that is water soluble I don't know what the percentages are and the concept of you put whats missing back in with that dead plant material doesn't apply to epiphytes
