Mold on bamboo skewers
Last weekend I repotted my phal in bark media. It was previously grown in moss. I had read threads that mentioned using bamboo skewers to check moisture content, so I put one in the pot five days ago.
I've been checking the skewer everyday, but today when I pulled the skewer out, there was white fuzzy mold on it and a foul odour. I threw the skewer out and inserted a new skewer in to check for moisture. After about 10 min, I pulled it out and it felt mostly dry. Now the skewer sits on the ledge next to the pot.
Now I'm concerned about the mold that was on the original skewer is going to harm my phal. I'm thinking I should let it dry out more.
