Water in Columbus, Ohio is very hard and alkline. For the longest time I was using tap water but my plants were developjng nutrient deficiencies left and right and my orchids had leaves covered in calcium deposits. So,I started adjusting my ph.
These are some flasks of the new babies we will have for sale soon. Cattleyas for days!!
I use PH down products to get the overal ph to a 6.o. Then, the addition of fertilizer will get the ph to drop a little to 5.8.
Since I haved started this new water regime, my orchids are putting out multiple growths per orchid and numerous more flower spikes.
