    Roots

    What do you isn't accurate? How far off can it be? I use Peters 15-5-15 with calmag. I have a water test. Would you like to see it. I could send it Gmail. They told me people would love to have my water.

    Roots

    I have not been able to upload pictures on this forum. Any advice or tricks. Yes I do use a TDS meter. I was told it was supposed to be 600-700. The pH of my water is 6.5. I have had it professionally tested twice.

    'Dragon's Blood'

    I used Dragon's Blood on some of my other larger Orchids. It did a good job drying up the diseased parts. It did not stop the progression of the disease for very long. That is probably due to the cause of the disease was not removed. I am only cautioning people to use it sparingly on small...
