Ray's Orchid Formula Test (UPDATE #1) Male
Default

Over the years, I found combinations of containers and media that "worked" for my plants, allowing them to all be watered identically and frequently, while maintaining the proper airiness for each individual, from vandas in baskets with no media to paphs in semi-hydroponics, and pretty much anything and everything else in between.

Remember - water does not cause rot, and it is possible to slowly and carefully "push" your plants to develop root systems that thrive in a wetter environment.

My greenhouse water supply was RO extracted from a well, so I had no concerns about water conservation, and knowing that water is the driving force behind growth, I evolved my culture to nearly "diluvian".
