I have just deflasked some Dendrobium Dawn Maree and was wondering what mix you use for compots.

I use either sphagnum moss (live if available) or if I want to let them grow on in the mix I have used (for some Elegant Heart x speciosum seedlings) a mix of peat moss, perlite, pumice, small bark and spagnum moss which I have found works well.

I would appreciate hearing other growers successful (and unsuccessful) mixes

Cheers

Rodney

I have de-flasked only paphs and cattleyas. For the compot, I like to use sphag. It seems to do well as a transition from the flask to pot. From compot to individual pots, I move them to tiny seedling bark mixed with charcoal and sponge-rock. (Sometimes I use oyster shell (calcium) if the plants need it.) Best of luck with your dends.

Cheers,
BD
