Default Do Paphs need limestone in their mix?
I'm reading how lots of Paph species grow on limestone, granite, or sandstone rock faces, in an alkaline environment.

Assuming the plants will grow best in a medium which replicates these conditions, how would I put together such a medium?

My only ingredients at the moment are medium grade bark and long-fibered sphagnum moss. Should I be on the lookout for limestone chips to add to the mix?
