New Prime-Agra... hmmmmm

[ScottMcC]

I thought the extra empty space was the point of the improvement...better wicking plus more air space yields less chance of rotting roots, especially if you transfer over a plant with a lot of old roots that are "locked into" their old bark-loving ways.

But I haven't tried any of the new primeagra so I have no idea. I'm almost out of old primeagra though so something tells me I will be...

I use aliflor for 4 paphs in the house near the front south window ( bellina & other violaceas) since they would never be warm enough if I kept in grnhse in winter.I noticed that some of the aerial roots dry out so I've been putting moss(sphag. on the top making sure I keep it moist & they seem to be doing fine.Is anyone else doing this?

I ordered some primeagra (new stuff) not too long ago, so I'll post my opinions once it arrives. I've still got some of the old stuff so I can do a comparison.
