Kenni,

Guess we're pretty much on the same page on this one. But, I switched about
half of my Phals to CHC mixed with small Aliflor, charcoal, sponge rock and
Perlite (I know - sponge rock AND Perlite is a little bit of overkill) and
found myself misjudging the amount of moisture I was giving them. I'm rarely
guilty of overwatering, but I did make that mistake at first with the new
mix. I prefer the CHC, because it lasts so much longer, but I need to get
used to it.
