Re: Various paphios
i know a few guys that are using a new medium for paphios. they're using cut off cubes 1cm X 1 cm from sponge used for floral arrangement (ikebana). there are 2 types of sponge, one for artificial flower and one for fresh flower. the sponge used is the one used for fresh flower type. but they mix it with lime stone for paphios that loves calcium.
the reason is the cubes will absorb water but at the same time will provide a lot of air pockets for the roots.
this medium is also used for other genus like catasetum.
