First Aid Kit
Ok I know I need supplies yet!
1) 20-20-20 fert (proper solution for Phals)
2) Blue Dawn Dish Detergent (grooming & insect control)
But what should I have on hand for emergencies?
Holding my breath as things are looking ok
but:
1) Cinnamon (leaf antiseptic)
2)
3)
4) etc.

Forceps? Did you mean tweezers?

For fungus, a good powder one that makes into a solution. I like Mancozeb. You can use the powder as a dessicant, I apply it with a small paintbbrush.
A good quality acaricide
Imacloporid for pests.
Long forceps, cutting and sterilising, gear.
Either a specialist fertiliser like Klite, or a basic 20.20.20.
Large bark for Phals, fine bark for dens etc.
Kelpmax.

It's in an unlabelled bottle. A friend gave it to me.
