Phal. deliciosa potting media recommendations?

[sewcrazy64]

Thanks everyone! I grow indoors in my sunroom with natural light from East and South windows and some supplemental LED light. I’m supposed to avoid sphagnum moss because of lung issues. KatieM, what size leca did you use for the one in the self watering pot?

You could always wear a mask when working with it and if the sphagnum is always lightly moist (not crispy)
then it shouldn't release anything into the air.

If you are firm on no sphagnum you could try out semi hydro, if you use a combination of Hydroton and Rockwool cubes it should stay moist for longer. However Rockwool does release some fibers and should probably be worked with outside. Read up on some of the discussions in the Semi Hydro sub forum.
