I spent probably over$1000 in last 35 days only for new orchids, baskets, mixes, tree ferms, so extra expense is really no issue. I am using fertilizer 15-5-15 recommended by kawamoto from Hawaii, and also dyngrow, plus seaweed. Thanks so much for the tip, I did write it down, I have supplier for all orchid things, so I have access to everything, except cork slab, I did look but didn't find it in store, is it also in Home Depot, or some specialty store:-) I wish I have saved all corks from wine bottles, they would maybe work as well:-)))) So many thanks for the tip, will definitely try. I did repot one cattleya that is doing good into the basket this spring, however your mix sounds much better, will get cork, lava rocks and tree ferm and make my own mix:-)
