Amazing growth!!!! Also I did not know that some moss is allelopathic. I have moss growth that seems to outcompete some orchids that I put on the moss. It never occurred to me that the moss might actually be putting something out that kills them. I just thought that the orchid roots were not getting the ventilation they needed or that new growths couldn't get the light and ventilation they needed, so the plant eventually dwindles.
