Because there seems to be no low pH, low or inorganic (and ideally peat free) available in retail.

Re: Swapping Michael Kießling clones
Now we can no longer easily get hold of Michael Kiessling’s interesting plants I was wondering if anyone was interested in establishing who has which ones and who is willing to swap cuttings. Out of curiosity mostly, but how would one purchase these plants earlier? I cannot find MK's nursery page o...

Re: Sulphur chips as slow release substrate acidifier?
All good points, thanks! I was hoping to "engineer" a solution that would give a fairly stable pH reduction over longer period so that I don't have to remember to add things to the water while watering. This "solution" is probably not worth the effort...

Sulphur chips as slow release substrate acidifier?
Does anyone use sulphur chips to acidify their potting substrate? They seem really good, with the slow "release" one just mixes them in and perhaps checks the pH once in a while.

Re: February 2024: Adromischus
I'll add a "semi-close-up" of my Adromischus marianiae 'tanqua' that's doing surprisingly well on my shelf! It's hard to take a decent photograph as the lights are a little too white, a little too bright and a little too close to the plants, but at least they seem to enjoying this. 2024022...

Re: Repotting at this time of year in the UK?
[...] Sadly, the place i ordered the plant from has some plants that have had their leaves painted with luminous paint. A pointless and cruel thing to do in my view. Thanks.
