Basically anytime that doesn't have the stuff dug up from bogs and wetlands! So yeah could be composted garden waste or coconut coir or bark chips or whatever. :> A lot of the talk was about how to use the different types of alternatives.

Stupid autocorrect. >:|

It's red carnelian! :>

I just think they're neat. :>

That was today's charity shop find, a princely £3. :D

Ye! It was looking very pleased with itself. I've never managed to get them to bloom after the first time so you're doing something right! :>

Yes of course you're right, I don't have THAT many plants, ha ha, that'd be ridiculous.

I mean it depends on the variety, but phalaenopsis definitely like looser compost (I had to cut a lot of mushy rotten roots off these ones). If your orchids seem happy then keep doing what you're doing! :>

$1 billion in Canadian pennies would be 2,350 metric tonnes, or 2590 North American tons. :|

I'd like to work at a plant shop or garden centre but I'd probably get briskly fired for doing exactly that. :|
