Hello everyone, happy growing!
I want to buy some Paph Niveum and Bellatulum (Species) in the future.
But I really don't know if my growing conditions are adequate, I live in a country with a tropical climate
Night Temperatures of 18C (64 F) and Day Temperatures of 25C (77 F)
I grow Lady Slipers hybrids outdoors, with 50% shade in a bright location. Most of my Phrags have a bright apple green leaf color
I water every other day, in a medium substrate (2cm) half bark, half terracotta (in the case of Paph and long-petaled Phrags I add 10% small charcoal)
Foliar fertilizer with 200ppm once a week. I add Thricoderma to the Medium once a month, and alternate with foliar applications of Bascilus Subtilus
With these conditions, can I grow these species?
Should I add calcium? (I only find calcium pebbles for chickens)
What can I improve to grow them?
