Hey there, i start out with really cheap plants rather than pay loads before i know what im doing with new types of orchid. I have a few phrags which ive done this with and enjoyed researching what to do and what conditions to provide and turning them around, i really enjoy it!
Ive just got conned on my first paph from an 'auction site' and it has no roots the leaves are angled over so seems like its a freshly chopped off growth? I am giving the plant good conditions (lights, right heat high humidity) im heating the pot base to 26'c but as theres no roots to start with im thinking i need to spray water/feed under the leaves?
I use RO water and rain mix (msu) and i was just wondering what kind of strength as a foiliar spray? Also can i get a root hormone in there aswell if so what kind and what sort of strength? Just to see if i can get some energy into it so it can grow a root.
This plant is a Paph sanderinium hybrid "screaming eagle" so far ive just been spraying 50/50 tap and RO water. I think this one is already dead when it got cut if im honest but anything i can learn on this subject will help me out.
