Paph. tigrinum

[John M]

What did you pot it in John, and did you add any rooting boosters?

Well, it took me a few days to remember to have a look; but, I finally remembered last night. I slipped the plant out of the pot and found that I'd used a mix of 3 parts perlite, 2 parts rockwool and 1 part peat moss. To that mix, I added about 10% limestone screenings to raise the pH up to about 6. I felt that the peat moss might make the mix too acidic, so that's why the limestone was added, even though Antec's website says that tigrinum is not calcicolous. I used a small, clay pot (3"), and added a piece of netting in the bottom to aid in drainage....this mix is pretty dense.

Congrats John, that has been a very quick and successful revive. This bloom is stunning.

Thanx, I wish I could find some decent size ones for less than $90!!!

Eric is there still some space on your sofa??
