Alberto: My plants are grown in a green house in 4 liter pots. I use a mix that is 1/2 organic matter and half pumice gravel. Temperature range is 10-35C. Plants go dormant and lose their leaves in winter and water is reduced but does not stop. My greenhouse is well shaded because I grow mainly paphiopedilums. I do nothing special for them. They get fed when other plants are fed with a well balanced general fertilizer. I have good quality water.
