Sorry to disagree, in part, Steve,but Fowlie is wrong. The only chemicals
(barring a few weirdos) that dissolve better in cooler temps than warm ones
are gases such as oxygen. Calcium compounds are notoriously insoluble except
in acids. Therefore acid water could cause a toxic buildup. Or using acidic
peat moss could have the same effect, but not in neutral coconut. I'd say
limestone marble chips would be great with coconut for the calceocolous
paphs (but I haven't tried it - yet. Good idea though.)

Yeah, that sounded weird to me too. I didn't think about it too much and
just copied the entire paragraph. I should have just left that part out.
