1st attempt at s/h
 

I had ordered the stuff from Ray to try s/h but didn't quite get around to it.

This Phrag Noirmont I have blasted the last two spikes. The first one, I bought it that way - then the second time, it happened in my home. So I thought it was time to try something new.

It was in a single 4.5" pot - when I pulled it , it fell (didn't break - did it on it's own) into two plants.

Soaked everything in KLN, followed Ray's instructions on his site, etc etc and have a heat mat arriving tomorrow.

So here we are. I will update this sometime down the road!

:lovesite

ooohhhh keep us updated, i would love to see it bloom.

I would too!!!! I saw someone else's plant in bloom and loved the flower - thought I was going to get one of my own this year, but it didn't seem to work out. Excited about the possibilities here, all the way around.

very neatly done....did you do drilling on the pot?

I got these particular ones from Ray. Sort of a starter kit, I guess you could say! If I decide to put a lot of additional plants in this way, I will probably get more supplies locally. We have a lot of... hydroponic... stores here in San Francisco / Northern California. ;-)

Wish I could find a seller around here. Shipping costs are starting to kill me.

The pot looks like Chinese take out soup containers that's why I was asking....drilling a hole on this is easy=heat up a Phillips screw driver and poke the plastic....

Yes, I look forward to being creative with my own here sometime soon. I'm going to let these establish first though, before I go off the deep end!

Phrags! The perfect plants for semi-hydro.

Learning to love s/h. So far I have a Phrag. pearcei, Paph. urbanianum, African Violet, and a Dtps. I-Hsin Purple Jewel all in S/H.

There probably is a seller near you. What area of Texas are you in? Even in Nebraska there's a few sellers!
