He writes they grow so fast with heavy watering and fertilizing, they need to be repotted before the sphagnum breaks down, so go heavy on the watering.

You can buy the book on his Web site, but it's hidden pretty well, for some reason. It's on Page 2 if you select All Products.

Well I think I just found this out as my medusa has just lost it's new growth because I let it dry out from not being around much this month. I need to re-pot it in a basket and put it in a try of water like I have my tringabarinum in.
