    I have a little hermetic container in which I grow up C. spirallis rhizomes... and more recently C. longicuada... I am just testing pH value... and I am very surprised aobut the result...

    See with your own eyes...



    Somo months ago I puted this life moss with some well-rooting spirallis on a coconus and died moss layer... the result is above one.

    I placed on the buttom of the container a layer of coconut chips and another one of dry local (similar to sphagnum) moss.

    C. longicauda is responsing better than all other I tested with it.

    I usually spray them with foliar ferts, apart of this, not doing any special thing.
    I think coconut chips and litter, and the moss provide them all nutrients they need.

    interesting way you keep them like a hydroponic style.
    the healthy white roots under the moss look GOOD!!
