We've all known the importance of adjusting pH when watering our orchids. However, the topic of water kH (carbonate hardness) often gets overlooked. Recently, I had a conversation with Ray, who pointed out something interesting: the pH of the water doesn’t directly correspond to the pH in the potting media. In fact, the media pH can vary significantly regardless of the water's pH.
This raises an important question: what should the ideal kH of our watering water be? Especially ones whoo use RO water. Since kH acts as a buffer, it helps stabilize pH and prevents sudden fluctuations. Getting this right seems crucial for maintaining a stable environment for our orchids.
I’d love to hear your insights on the ideal kH levels.
Thanks.
