| Tom,
The shallow root system was the main reason I chose Pings to go with the Disa. Aside from Cephs, which I couldn't see working, there's not a lot of CP's that like early autumn repotting but the Mexican Pings can be repotted at anytime without setback. My main concern with the Pings was with the higher light levels and wetter mix that I grow my Disa in but the Pings seem to have adapted well. It's probably the stronger light that lets them tolerate the wetter mix. They also handle the low concentration fertiliser I give my Disa.
FWIW tuberous Drosera and Australian terrestrial orchids also grow well together in pots, although given they grow side by side in the wild it's probably to be expected. That's probably another thread though. |
