| Paphs just want to be moist. A skewer is a good thing to use. So is getting to know the weight of the pot. Heavy when wet, light when dry. They dont want to be too compacted in the media, i use bark so there is good drainage, i just water more.
Phrags are abit trickier. Some like to be treated like paphs, some like to sit in saucers of water. It depends on your plants related species. Kmarch or another phrag grower will help you there, there is also that post patlee mentioned.
MOST important thing with phrags, is they need rain water or RO water, or at least water very low in salts. Rainwater in cities can have too much salts too, so its worth checking if your worried. same goes for tap water. |
