Sorry two questions in one day everyone -

I have my KS Zebra from Peter Lin but my media and pot are delayed in transit (of course very likely to happen these days).

I made a few holes in the pot with the moss that it arrived in, but the bottom leaf is yellowing, I’m not sure if the plant can stay in the compressed sphagnum moss for that long. Should I just take it out, leave the moss loose around the roots and mist it - supplies come in 5 days.

Pictures attached of course.

I think that your plan is a good one. Those flimsy plastic pots, and soggy moss are not good. Phals are fine with fresh air around the roots, your misting should hold it until you can repot it.

Yes! It came very happy, it’s been this way for about a week due to the delay - it is definitely less happy now. Ok thank you for telling what I needed to hear, out it goes!
