That's got great colour! It also appears to be labelled correctly. So many of these are not labelled correctly. These flowers are very beautiful!

Do you have some info on the sponge rock you use? I use perlite in my mixes but particle size is quite small, would love to get some coarser stuff.

grodan Vital is a special rockwool which is produced and controlled for plant culture big blocks for about 2€ at ebay. Plus shipping.
Use this one on more and more Phrags.

This is the stuff a lot of big growers in NL use too.

I use 8-16 mm Gold Label hydrokorrels (www.specialmix.nl) made in Holland. I discard the smaller and the larger korrels.
