    Default Osmocote info for orchids

    Can I add osmocote in LECA? I am using LECA as my sole medium(not s/h).

    Thank you.

    In quart and pint size containers, I use 1/4 th of a teaspoon of Osmocote pellots in Prime Agra. With the 1 gallon and 2 quart lemonade pitchers that I haave cymbidiums (in Prime Agra) I use 1 teaspoon every 2 months instead of every three months. The cyms seem to need more oomph!
