Important!! Calcium Deficiency
Default
I agree with you 100% but, the problem for orchids is that they are unable to adequately limit their calcium uptake, and will absorb too much of it when available, resulting in cellular pH too high. Some orchids also have difficulties absorbing Fe, Mn, Cu, or Zn, which is more tightly held in alkaline media, another reason why they thrive in low pH media.
