A good mix for a greenhouse cattleya grower in Florida is probably not
appropriate for a windowsill paph grower in Chicago.


OTOH, some folks on this group sell a couple options
for potting media that seem to work well for many people in
many locations.

Speaking of which, all of the tolumnias are much happier in
the epiweb the wife got me for xmas than the spagnum that
C&H likes to put them in.
