Thanks you all

They are in rock wool (little cubes), flushed once a week or 2 weeks depending the weather. I never let them dry...
T° 16-25° C
No particular requirements, except maybe soft water.

Very nice , très beau

En passant très belle collection, Very nice collection

Dis-moi tu cultures en LDR depuis longtemps et est-ce que tu abaisses le pH avant utilisation?? Lets me know how long you using wool rock as growing media???

 

[Ohe]

Thanks/Merci

Approximately 7-8 years now, very good results with the Phrags. Before use, I let the rock wool soak for a week or more in water with a PH between 5.5 en 6 (same PH as watering solution)

Environ 7 à 8 ans maintenant, ça donne de très bons résultats avec les Phrag. Avant de l'utiliser, je laisse la LDR tremper 1 semaine ou plus dans de l'eau au PH entre 5.5 et 6 (même PH que la solution d'arrosage)
