I made a trip to the local hydroponics store yesterday and restocked on rockwool, perlite, and Promix HP, for a lot less than available online. I should be set going into the winter. Something about seeing this much coarse perlite makes me giddy. I also got to talk in detail at the store about the latest supplemental products and advances in LED lights. Thank you cannabis industry, for making indoor growing easier on many fronts.

So are your plants in a blend of perlite rockwool and promix? Flowers are nice

 

[PeteM]

Sorry. No. Not Pro mix for the orchids. That soil is for all my other house plants.

I really need to get some Habernarias.

 

[Don I]

Neat.

Did you pot the Habenaria only in rockwool? Thanks

 

[NYEric]

Thanks for sharing. Most of my Habs come up but did not bloom this year. I need to get more also.

I took a closer look and I did cut the mix with a bit of large perlite. Not much. And always styrofoam peanuts on the bottom 1-2 inches.

The Flamingo's my favorite, but they're all very pretty.
