potting straight into coconut chips
 

Hey all
Has anyone had experience planting paphs straight into CHC.What were
the results etc.I think learning to water it differently would be the
first step.I have used it for the last few years as an addition and
the plants love it.
Just thinking about it as i go out to start repotting.)-:

I use approx 4 parts med chc, 1 part med charcoal and one part med perlite
and my paphs seem to like it. I put most everything else in the same mix
too.

Back when I used "organic"-based media, I used a similar blend, but 2:1:1
for more air flow.
