Perlite for aquaponics? Check nos-specialist.

Shop around as it may cost more than if you import.

Bought some small desert rose plants. Potted them in soil and they seem to be doing OK. Any tips in what they should be planted in and fertilise with?

There is an Orchid Show at Preysal High on 29th and 30th. Hope to attend and pick up some tips .........

I bought one xmas time for my Mom, one of the grafted imported ones.
Transplanted it from the little pot to a 6" dia, and it looking ready to go to a bigger now.

They supposedly very hardy, just need well drained soil and not plenty water.
Trick is to get them grown with a nice base filled out in the pot.

They use crazy glue to graft them.

That's one I had a while now got overgrown. I now have some time again so I cut it back for new growth and shaping the branches the direction I want them
