[QUOTE=neophyte;916826]Hello MakiWaki, the issue is that you are underwatering. Underwatering is always a relative term, since it is closely tied to the type of medium. That is to say, if you watered twice a week with sphagnum, you most likely wouldn't be underwatering. But since you're watering twice a week with extremely large grade bark (ie., the chunks are extremely large and don't retain much water), twice a week is not enough. Large grade bark has lots of air space, which leads to its rapid rate drying out. You should switch to small/medium-grade bark medium if you prefer bark (I think this is a good choice) and water maybe once every two days or so. Check out SouthPark's links, too, to make sure that watering every 2 days in small/medium-grade bark is too much. You should always try to adjust the watering based on the medium. The reason I would recommend switching to small/medium-grade bark and adjusting watering instead of adjusting your watering regime to this large-grade bark is because you'd probably be watering this little guy several times per day, which may not suite your schedule. I hope this helps.
