Phrags LOVE semi-hydro. Before I started using RO I used to grow them
in very hard water with no problems, but I did flush the pots through
monthly with distilled. It might depend on the exact chemical
breakdown of your water. Most Phrags like plenty of calcium.

I've been avoiding phrags due to the high mineral level of local tap
water, but wonder if semi-hydro culture would help compensate for
that. Or maybe it would make the problem worse. Anybody have any
thoughts on growing phrags in high mineral level water?
