Good idea about sphagnum around the roots. This species likes to be moist, but dry out between waterings (so I have found)... how come the idea on the Dracena? ;)

Well Pat, the tree has been here doing nothing but growing up and up and up for over 22 years. And one day a while back, I look at it and decided it would look good festooned by a blooming orchid. I got this one, and thought it would be a good time to try.
Now the sphag get really wet when I water it in the mornings and when I come back from work, and before bed. But between waterings it get really really dry. I hope it likes its new home. And I hope its new home can sustain it.

Lets hope it gets there Ryan. Right now I'm more interested in seeing it grow some roots and leaves. :pray:

I think the spanish moss would make it look really cool, I love spanish moss, plus I think it will help add humidty too:)

Tin,

Do you think the Sphagnum moss would rot the side of the Corn Plant? Hopefully it will do goo there, and grow some roots! :)

I think the corn plant will start its own roots in the sphag.

Tindomul 01-14-2007 07:16 PM

Either case is a possibility. Frankly, Im hoping the corn plant will ignore the area, and allow the Phal to grow. The sphag dries up pretty fast on those days when my building has the heat up. I don't think it will rot, as I always wait till it dries to mist again.
