The hydroton in this blend is a lightweight expanded clay aggregate that offers neutral PH, is long lasting and has excellent aeration for good moisture balance.
Our coconut chips come to us prewashed twice. We then take the chips and soak them, filter, wash and clean them as many times as is necessary to be sure the finished product is in the best possible condition for our use and for yours. We use the same products we provide our customers on our own orchids, and quality is our number one objective.

| Natural Cues: | Paphs are sensitive to the drop in temperature that comes with fall. If grown indoors the plant should be given 2 weeks of chilling at 60 degree night temperatures in the early fall to initiate blooming. During this time they also prefer a significant difference between day and night temperatures. |
| Repotting: |
Paphs love to be repotted frequently, annually if possible, every two years at most. Seedling Paphs benefit from even more frequent repotting, older plants can go a little longer than young ones. Paph and Phrag Classic Orchid Mix Paph & Phrag Imperial Orchid Mix Seedling Fir Classic Orchid Mix |
