Hi Rick, Congratulations 👏👏👏 I know that plant has the potential. Very well grown.

Maybe sulfates of those elements. They are cheaper but need a lower pH solution for uptake.

Looks like it has a really nice dark color.

Hanna or Milwaukee. They both stay on the spot for a longer time. You do need to recalibrate them or at least check their reading with a buffer. Also rinse them with distilled water, rinse the extra water then place it back to their cap with storage solution after using. Right now I use Hanna...

Thanks. That and the urbaniamum are going back to the Phils.

Tiny plant. Tiny flower.

Just some cuties, might as well share my view as I have my coffee. From left, urbanianum, fowliei album, delanatii album and thaianum. Good morning.

Thank you all. Hoping to see some of you and maybe visit their nurseries together. A bigger group usually gets a better attention.

Any information about who should we seeing for paphiopedilums in Taiwan? Growers or vendors or nurseries. Thanks.

Yeah, it's not effective and may not be enough. When one is using a certain mixed fertilizer, like 20 20 20 or 20 15 16, you will notice that Ca, MG and S are not provided if ever not in adequate quantity. This is because one is expected to use tap water that has them in acceptable amount. So it...

Calcium carbonates need to be dissolved first by whatever acid that will be in contact to it to form the aquatious form calcium bicarbonate. Both are now in ionic forms where the bicarbonate can increase the pH and the CA ion is now free to be absorbed. So if this calcium bicarbonate happens to...

It does have more influence from stonei on the pouch and the roth used has influenced the size of the dorsal.

Roth was Kingkong. I need to get name for the stonei used. Kingkong was supposed to be huge, 7.2 DS.

I have about 20 plants from flask from Sam. 5 have flowered and some got sold. This one is my favorite in color and form and might be good in size too. This also developed outside when temp has dropped already so it got stunted considerably. Keeper.

Here's another one but it developed outside when the temp already dropped to 40F and I was still out of the country to save it. This has the vini color and the biggest flower so far. I love this.
