this plant has been grown semi hydro......and I was just wondering since I have seen a few posts on here about roots not adapting to conventional media after being in semi hydro and vice versa......any ideas on how a person would get it to adapt to conventional medium after it has been grown semi hydro?

Todd, I've been switching over all my phrags from s/h back to spagnum and many of my paphs in s/h to a chc mix. They've done fine. I wouldn't worry too much about it. In this case, you linked to a phrag that has great roots and since it likes water just make sure you don't let it dry out too much and you should be good to go.

Thanks for the info Candace....I was impressed by the roots on the Phrag on E-Bay......LOL just not sure if I am going to bid on it or not....but it made me curious about the success of converting a semi hydro grown plant to traditional medium and did wonder if perhaps planting into sphagnum for a time would work

Hi Todd, I would have to agree with Candace. I have switched several plants recently from semi-hydo to my standard phrag mix and I have seen no ill effect. Regards, Doug
