A question was raised yesterday among Slipper growers about how deep to pot phragmipediums? I thought with roots in the mix and the bottom 1/8 inch of green growths in the mix. Others thought that was too deep. Thoughts?
 
Depends on how it grows in natural habitat, some phrags grow fully submerged under water during monsoon season
 
I grow mine with the base of the plant just very slightly
above medium level. I prefer to see the base of the plant
drain very well because it seems that's where rot usually
starts.
