Campanulata « Reply #23 on Apr 3, 2008, 9:14pm » Cindy, is there any chance that this could be diatomite? i was recommended this by an orchid seller here in penang, he said that this is better than perlite. It seem that the horticulturist in Holland stopped using perlite quite some time ago due to some problem and this is a better alternative. It's heavier than perlite, more gravel looking.

You could find lime stone in flower nursery supplying landscaping materials. There is one on the way to Sungai Buloh (from KL/Kepong direction) called Pottery Garden. After we pass Sri Damansara, look out for the high tension cables that crossed over the road, right after passing the high tension cables, you'll be able to see the nursery on the right hand side. But you have to make an U-turn back from the flyover further down. diatomite?

The following are small pieces of diatomite. Orchid growers use larger pieces about 2-3cm long.

Campanulata « Reply #29 on Apr 7, 2008, 4:55pm » I see. Thought that the root of this species need higher PH. But it is not. Yes. Coral chips contained calcium. So, anyone of you try the chemical CaNo3, which is Calcium Nitrate? Normally i will use melt this chemical inside the water for the cactus and succulent. Since they need higher calcium than other plants. Akira, if you can't find any limestone and diatomite. Try your luck in fish shop for the crashed coral chip. RM2 per pack...

Campanulata « Reply #32 on Apr 23, 2008, 6:26pm » Thanks Cindy, i guess i misunderstand some point before, anyway, just want to confirm the burnt earth, is that the burn earth is a kind of orange soil that we can get in almost all nursery for flower plantation? thank you Link to Post - Back to Top Logged cindy Global Moderator member is offline Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 412 Location: Singapore Re: N. Campanulata « Reply #33 on Apr 23, 2008, 9:10pm » Not sure if it is the same but the burnt earth we used comes in hard chucks. If you pour water onto it, the chucks remain hard. The typical garden soil which is orange in colour may be just clay. When you add water, it becomes a sticky paste and that is not good for these Neps. Link to Post - Back to Top Logged |
