Default Macodes petola medium??

What medium do I pot my Jewel orchids in? They are in Sphag but I want to use something else. I have one outside in Aussie gold and it is doing fine but I don't want to buy anymore of it for just these small plants.

Oh and how the leaves sparkle in the light!

Why do you want to change the media, is it not doing well?
I keep jewels in pro-mix, peat based - It's easy!

Thanks Gloria. The one in the Aussie looks much better. I welcome all opinions from folks who grow these little gals.

I have mine in some African Violet mix with extra peat and small charcoal added in. It's doing great

I took a small cutting of the plant to put in my new tank also. This is sitting in the straight aliflor filling the bottom of the tank and is also doing very well.

Seems to me that this is a hardy little orchid

My son is growing his Macodes petola in s/h, and it's doing great. I was sceptical at first because it looks so delicate. It's growing new leaves like crazy.
