Need care info on 2 mini's...
I finally bought my first two mini's, but after doing a google search I came up empty handed on care information other than light and one questionable detail about watering. So I'm wondering if anyone can point me in a good direction for care and culture sheets on these two.
The two I ordered are Scaphosepalum verrucosum and Porroglossum dalstroemii. I am aware that they are not necessarily "beginner" mini's but would like to try my best as I expand into these.
The questionable information I found was that they said even 1 drop of water that is not dehumidifer water or rainwater would kill the plant by destroying the roots. Is this true? I do have dehumidifier water, and am now looking at rain buckets (which I've actually wanted for a very long time anyway to water my orchids with). A few sources noted that they should be watered between once a day to 3 times per week if potted, therefore kept somewhat moist and not allowed to dry out.
Please help! Any information would be better than none at all at this point, lol... They are due to arrive this Thursday.
