Hello Galina, I changed the soil 15 days ago. This is third bloomming. It was same before changing it's soil. Flowers are 6-7 cm diameter, and beatiful but looking downward. İt seems as if stem is weak to carry the flower. My soil mix is 1/3 perlitte, 1/3 vermicılute and 1/3 cocopeat.

I read somewhere that vermiculite should be no more than 20% of the substrate. When vermiculite is too much, it's bad.
Coconut land need to rinse with water before use, because sometimes there is too much salt.
Nothing more to say since I have not tried a similar substrate. We use a substrate based on peat.

Practically, you are using hydroponics. The plant is not receiving power from the substrate. Need to work on a nutrient solution, to achieve the optimum composition.

At hydroponic system, I use only vermiculite or diatomite. The cocopeat I use, look likes your peat tablets. It's already rinsed for two times to clear salt and then powered with nutrititiens and pressed. The soil formula is written on AVSA and general soil mix for av's. My fertilizer dosage is 1/4 of written on the bottle. Maybe I have to increase fertilizer. Thanks Galina... |

It is possible that nutrients are plentiful, but the plant can not absorb them.

I would start with the substrate. Reduce the amount of vermiculite to increase the amount of peat. But this is just my opinion.

Thanks for your help Galina, As you know, there are very kinds of peat. Which one do you suggest? Spaghum peat or something else? I will decrease the perlitte and vermiculite. I changed it's soil 15 days before. If there is no problem to change soil in a short period, I will change them tomorrow. What do you think about perlitte? I know It is unhealthy material for us, especially breathing it's powder. We have a microbiological fertilezer which helps the roots to take elements from soil to itself. Maybe I can try it too.

I speak of peat (peat, red) (upper - top - high - overhead - higher) 
I read somewhere that sfagnum peat is also good.
We use the substratum, which consists partly of riding, partly because of red peat. More red. PH of the substratum is already adapted to the plants. If you buy pure peat, it is too sour.
Two weeks is too short term to see whether the improvements have come. I think you need to watch any longer.

Ups...I haven't seen you have started a new topic about this subject. So I can see that lack of light isn't mentioned... you don't think it couild be because plants are too far from light source or don't get enough light?

Hello Valeriana, Thanks for your interest. There is no lackage of light. They are on the table and very near to window which is looking the east side. There is only tulle curtain between sun light and plants.
