Developed by H. Thomale 1954 for sowing Paphiopedilum. |
Original mix as described by Thomale 1954 and 1957 . The GD-Thomale medium |
has stand the test of time and is the base for several modern media for slipper |
orchids and difficult to germinate hardy terrestrial orchids. This mix does not |
contain NAA, an ingredient recommended as 'Wuchsstoff 66-f' by Thomale! |
|
Salt mix sealed in a heavy-duty plastic bag. The salt mix is very hygroscopic and |
needs to be used up right after opening the bag. However, if sealed airtight immediately |
after use it can be stored for some time. Every reopening will increase water content |
of the salt mix. |
