Hello everyone,
Over the past week or two I noticed that my Paph delenatti medium seemed to not be drying out. I purchased it in June of 2014 and last repotted it in July of 2014. I found some sites that said I should have repotted it every 6 months. Not sure if that is true or not. I decided to repot it in fresh medium today. I use small coconut husk chips, small red lava rock, medium red lava rock, small sponge rock - perlite, medium stalite, coir and small granite chips. When I emptied the media out I found one small gnat like white bug less than a millimeter in length in the media. I noticed that the roots didn't look so great so I soaked the fresh media in physan 20 and rinsed the roots with physan 20.
My questions are is there anything else I can do or should do? How bad off are the roots? And should I have potted it every 6 months? I currently have one more paph that was given to me in December that it currently in cypress and perlite media. Should I repot that one in this new media being careful to repot every 6 months?
Here is a picture of the paph.![]()
