I have one question.
My name is Jeroen Arends i am a beginner orchid grower from the Netherlands.
I have Paphiopedilum rothschildianum as a small seedling.
In books and on the internet they say is from soil that doesn’t contain lime.
But this site says it’s from ultra basic rock:

I thought that lime was the component that caused alkaline soils?
Is there a way I can give my Rothschildianum an alkaline medium without addling lime?
