Cymbidium Growing Medium

[denvervet]

Paulino's is extremely expensive. I bought my stuff at Lowes and made my own mixture. I had bought some growing medium for Phals once on line and by the time shipping kicked in it cost 20 bucks to pot one phal. Never again. I ended up dividing this Cym in half and made two pots. I used a finer bark, perlite and some sphagum moss along with clay balls and charcoal. I put them outside and will gradually give them more and more sun. Actually the best place in denver to get growing medium is the Denver Orchid Society but due to my broken leg I have not been able to attend meetings. Can't wait until I go again, great club. Denver is a funny city, I find we dont have things available that an eastern or western city would have all the time, its still kind of "cowpokey".....
