I want to get something off my chest but I don't know what category it belongs in. I hope it's okay but I'm kind of disappointed by my observation. I recently bought a Paph. sanderianum from 'Großräschener Orchideen', this one...

Hello, this Paph. sangii has been brought to me by a friend. It has hardly any roots left, just enough to survive. It is producing two new shoots. It is currently in rockwool and shaded (2000 Lux) at 75%-80% rH with 23°C / 73°F. Watering every two days with Peters 10-52-10 (0.5g/L -> 410 µS...

Hello, I use CHC (Coconut Husk Chips) as a substrate for my Paphiopedilum. As I know about the problem with potassium (K) accumulation I wanted to mix my own K-lite fertilizer. I live in Europe and it makes little economic sense to import it. I know about the discussion about CHC, whether good...
