Hi all,
I'm new to growing Paphs and Phrags from seed.
I have been using Sigma P6668 (Phytamax with charcoal and no banana). Will this suffice for Paphs and Phrags? I see on the OSP site that P668 (which I understand is the same as P6668, just from another company) gives a good result. No mention is made as to the concentration of the P668 (for instance, I use half-strength P6668 for Masdevallia with the sugar concentration adjusted to full strength) nor whether coco-nut water was added (I understand coco-nut water is a very important undefined factor in Paph growing mediums). Should coco-nut water be added to the germination medium or only to the replate (if that)?
A friend has sent me some seed of Paph. venustum and Phrag St Ouen and they should arrive by post soon... I'm very excited.
Thanks for any advice you may offer
