I give delanatii a mix that is basically the same as my phrag mix- fine fir bark (phrags sometimes get medium), sponge rock, NZ sphagnum, and a little charcoal. All other paphs get coconut husk chips instead of bark, but I find delanatii alone among paphs in preferring bark. I keep them wetter than other paphs (thanks to the sphagnum) but not as wet as a phrag. Hope this helps...Take care, Eric Muehlbauer in Queens NY...paphs lawrencianum in bloom, niveum in bud, and lots of blooming phrags..... _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids
