I talk so much, so I add this first:

Perlite vs seedling mix:
Seedling mix is best.


The paphiopedilum seems to enjoy the perlite, and its easy to just pour water in the cups.

But I was surprised on how easy it was to maintain the bark/perlite/moss mix moist and not wet. I really like this moss, so I need to order more later. Who knew it was such a different in quality in moss, what we have in local shops are crappy. Lol, I assume most people know- I never tried good moss, so didnt know.

The verdict; I will not use perlite the next time.

(maybe on phalaenopsis and paphiopedilum- but its easy and looks good in the seedling mix.)
I still have some adult plants in perlite, and they like it- so its not the perlite I dont like, maybe its not for all plants.

I prefer seedling mix (I was convinced it was gonna be the perlite I prefered).

Lol- maybe because those small containers with lots of holes are über-awesome😎 Lots of air, and a nice mix. I am very happy with the mix, so I think I will stick to that next time.

Yeah, and I loved melting holes, so I am almost buying more pots just to melt more holes😂 If its not in leca or perlite: it got holes😂 I sat in the garage, poking all my pots- like a crazy plant-woman. They seem to love it, but yeah- need to water them more often, but thats okay.

Well, lets see how the survivors are doing😎

Perlite is not the best seedling mix, not in my environment. Adult plants likes it, but my seedlings not so much.

At the same time I can show how the app for iphone is- even though this is crop from the screen, its easy to see the progress on plants with this.

Plants struggling in perlite, had to take one out. Think one might live a while more.


Not liking it much, I still have them in perlite though.


Think some might make it. Growing, but slow.


Rescued one from perlite and put it in with these. Think it likes it in this mix.


The only Lycaste left. Its not doing anything, maybe starting to grow the leaf a tiny bit. Atleast it doesnt get worse. Hope this will make it.



Only survivors from the Angraecum didieri. Not sure what killed the others, but this is growing some tiny roots. Doesnt do much though. Almost like it is saying "watch it, I might change my mind about living her if you dont treat me correct". Lol, not sure why I feel it could be a hard one, the adult version looks so cute and nice.


And the easy one. Paphiopedilum Senne Calle. Likes both perlite and seedling mix. Grows a bit more than the others. Atleast two of them grows pretty good. I like it for that reason alone, doesnt take the courage away from a first time grower 😂😜. Well-behaved plant😎

I buried this, hopefullt its grown more under the mix than over the mix. Maybe making roots. Atleast it grows, a bit slow though.


Not growing much, but its improving what it has, maybe getting ready to grow more soon.


This grows nicely. Cute.


And this has grown roots- as shown last week, and even grows a new leaf. And doesnt seem to have problem with the perlite.



Have been giving them all a tiny amount of bio nutrition on friday. Seemed like that was okay.


Its spring again. Maybe not outside, but atleast inside- longer days with daylight. Plants are all growing.
Look at this keiki- growing roots and leaf since january. Decided to try mounting- but in a vase, I'm afraid mounted plants will die in my dry environment the normal way. Posing with tomatoes in the last pic- now its in a window- shaded but bright daylight.



Well, thats it for this week😎
Lol- I have a blog, not about orchids, but maybe I should have a blog about my plants aswell😂😜

I have this place, so I guess I'm good for now.

Happy growing all😃👍🏻

They are doing fine👍🏻 Lol, but well, they grow slower than tomatoes, so not much to report.

Lol, and they have been a nice company in the kitchen😂😜 I am just letting them adjusted, and well- I have to much free-time atm😜

We can't get the wonderful European cheeses here in the US. Our agriculture department refuses to let in cheeses made from milk that isn't pasteurized. Doesn't matter that Europe has understood cheese for over 5,000 years.

(This one is pasteurized, I think.)

I am not really into smelly cheese, and all those fancy cheese thats really strong flavored. Havent tasted many though, so maybe I like them

This I like. I can imagine people tasting this for the first time either finds it okay, or thinks its awful. Its sweet taste, but kinda funny how it melts and feel when you eat it. Caramel flavor to it, not much, but some.

Restrictions. I both understand them, and dislike them. Or- some just dont make sense. Some do.
