Although my education and experience with growing orchids is limited, I
thought that most orchids were more acidophilic in nature.  I have
mentioned this notion a time or two, only to receive surprised looks and
comments.  As I understand it, acidity in nature is dictated by the
amount of rain an area receives, combined with the availability of
organic/humic matter. Input?
Thanks,
Vanessa

Re acidity/acidophilic I thought so too (the exception being some of the calciferous paphs). I also wondered if the acidity of the Gorilla hair might not compensate for the pH 8.5 municipal water I use. Again. looking for input.
