Worm tea update

Well, as I have posted earlier, I use worm tea diluted 50:1 in a semi-hydro setup. This mean the plants get worm tea 24/7 due to the wicking of the LECA. Here are some before and after shots of a phal I have. Keep in mind this is only been 2 1/2 weeks, repot was 8/16/07.

first is the sad phal before repot. Note the very droopy leaves. They were rubbery and limps and wrinkled.

Second photo is the phal today.

Third photo is the roots on 8/16/07 before root trimming.

Last photo is the roots in the S/H. Notice how much healthier they look.
