Velleta, where are you ordering from? Kellys? Are you ordering Orchiata?

I think #5 is okay, I usually mix some perlite in the bark instead of sphag. In your climate, you might want to skip sphag.

Hi jany I got it from a local farm store( NATURES BEST). That's the brand it contains Bark, charcoal and perlite. The charcoal particles are a bit small so that's why I was thinking to add a few bigger pieces. I repotted about five already with a bit of spag so do you think I should redo them withouth the spag or what. I really don't have a lot of roots working with so I REALLY don't want to loose anymore. Thanks again VELLETA.

The strength of a rope is the strength of it's weakest piece. The size of a mix is it's smallest component. The small pieces you are mentioning, will fill the space between the larger pieces and clog up the works. The size of your mix then , should be measured by the smallest pieces.

Thanks Nick so my mix is ok. Great so now all I have to do is repot and figure out my watering. But do I redo the first ones that I did with the spag? I would prefer to do EVERYTHING over correctly once and for all than waiting and getting more problems. I really want my babies to be healthy and happy. VELLETA.
