Using lava rock to pot all my orchids.

[Mrmilbourn1980]

So I have discovered lava rocks and I absolutely love them so far only about 5 weeks in to using them I bought two little itty bitty vandals from Lowe's last year I got absolutely nothing out of them until I planted them in lava rock about 4-5 weeks ago now I have new growth new roots they are doing 100 percent better the 2 dendrobiums that I own that were rescue orchids from Lowe's are responding very well new root growth and I think the dormant pseudobulbs are starting to grow. One of my three cattleyas are in lava rock they seem to be doing very well. The other two are still in the original substrate I bought them in. All my phals except except 2 are rescues from Lowe's and Wal-Mart the ones that are in lava are doing great. I grow under a 250 watt Mars hydro led light I dimmed it down to 150 watts low humidity in my bedroom so I spray every morning and water pretty much every day I don't think I can over water them this way tons of new growth most of them have a lot of pigmentation from the led light. When I buy a orchid rescue and stick them under this light they seem to bloom a few more flowers it's pretty interesting . even if I repot them anyone have bad exp with lava rocks
