I'm quite happy with what I use for my plants, but curious about this potting medium and its use for Paphs.
Greg, how do you go about potting the Paphs in the tree fern? Do you use fibers like these: Tree fern fiber and what grade? Or do you use fiber cubes; and if so, small cubes or a large pot-size chunk? If the latter, how do you pot the Paph in it?
Thanks!
Your article was so helpful. This is new stuff to me. I didn't realize that NZ Tree Fern was a different product from the stiff twiggy stuff that can be bought in a bag, which is also "Tree Fern." but a different variety (from the New World?). I'm curious when NZ Tree Fern began to hit the orchid grower's market? It sounds great, and apparently a renewable resource.If you use a 100% NZ tree fern fibre you need to watch that you do not over water. I live in Auckland , New Zealand and in summer the watering interval would be between 4 to 7 days and for winter two to three weeks. The general rule of thumb is if in doubt , don't water.
