Phragmipedium pearcei

Here it is, potted in clay pot with sphagnum Phragmipedium pearcei. There are several growths and large all tangled rootbal with brownish but quite firm roots. I have no idea if they are dead or alive. Just wrapped all those roots in sphag and pushed into the pot.



It is my first phrag and its survivability will define if I will ever have more.

    I don't think that sphagnum is recommended for Phrags even though they need to stay quite wet. I believe that most use a bark mix in a plastic pot. Phrags are also good candidates for semi-hydro.

    Thank you for the info Justin. I am planning to move it into bark when I get some. At the moment I only have sphag and chc at home, sphag sounded like better choice over chc...
