paph potting mix
 

Hi

I am new to paphs well I am new to orchids but very new to paphs so sorry for all my silly questions :blushing: what I want to know is will this potting mix work for my paph in my environment

6 parts medium CHC
3 parts #4 sponge rock
1 part #2 charcoal

I live in Michigan so summers are about 80 90F and up in the summer in the winter the house is about 65 70F. Humidity in the winter is 50 60% is what I try to keep it at and in the summer the humidity is very high. I plan on growing my orchids outside in the summer inside in the winter. Thanks :biggrin:

When I was using CHC on paphs I used 3 parts CHC and 1 part each of sponge rock and charcol. Yours' sounds close enough.

Bill

thanks :D

Bill, what do you use mix do you use now?

Tucker, I've been using Orchiata for the last year or so. I find it to be less of a hassle than CHC.
