One on the way... Semi Hydroponics????? - Orchid Board

Hi!
I just bought a Paph Fair Venus from someone on a different forum. I did not know it was in S/H media... Plastic Pot, and Clay Pellets. I've been told it'll do fine in a window sill, but I have very little XP with S/H as a whole. Mostly just philodendron "did I spell that right?", and spider plants!
Any advice for an impulsive noob, with a green thumb, and DUMB LUCK?

Is it actually in S/H or just in the clay balls as medium?

I'm assuming clay balls as media

Describe the pot.

I have not actually received the plant yet, but it's described as a Plastic Semi-Hydroponic Container with Clay Pellets!

Well, if ya bought it, hopefully there was a picture and you liked it.

So it may be 'tis doing just fine in its present pot/media. Get it, take a picture, and let's have a looksee.

It's A plastic pot with a reservoir, and clay aggregate!

Yeppers, that would be Semi-Hydro. The two little holes on the side, an inch above the pot, is the clue.

There are places on the semi-hydro board here on care.

Also, if you look above at the member "Ray," then go to his website as listed, there's a wealth of info regarding how to water/fertilize, etc, with a plant in SH.

I think you'll like it.
