Rob-Rah Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 What do people grow this in? Peat/perlite? Sphagnum moss/perlite? Straight sphagnum moss? Bark chips, etc? And how high a water table? My U. endresii seems happy in moss/perlite (50:50) and regular overhead watering in winter, sitting in 1 inch of water in summer. Is that reasonable for quelchii? (I dont imagine it would want the same substrate as humboldtii or nelumbifolia as it grows in very different situations in the wild) Thanks for any ideas!

Pyro Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 I grow mine exactly like my alpina. Media is about equal parts orchid bark, coarse perlite and LFS and I top dress with live sphag. I don't stand the pots in water but they are over a tray that collects drainage. I simlpy water them whenever the live sphag starts looking a little dryish.
