Pln. yunnanensis in Sphagnum?
« on: April 12, 2009, 08:18:53 PM »
Hello, experts!

Just a quick question:
Would it be a bad idea to plant Pleione yunnanensis in a mainly Sphagnum based substrate?
I've read that it's more terrestrial than most other Pleiones.

Hi Daniel,
I grow my yunnanensis in a mix which is 3 parts bark and 2 parts sphagnum and it does fine in this
