I know what it is, but how do I care for it?

Rbarata, I thought as much. Unfortunately I didn't realize it until after I had finished everything...I hope your Cambria turns out to be stunning!
Wintergirl, do you know why they put those sponge things there? I can't seem to think of any logical explanation.

I'm thinking those are leftover from the initial "potting" after deflasking. My recent miltonopsis from Hausermann also had one of those and was also pure spagnum when I got below the overcast roots. I have adopted a policy that immediate repotting at least lets me know what I'm dealing with.
