Here's the pot with the S. sinensis today. A few S. cernua popped up since the last pic:

subrosa: a few questions. what medium are you using? plain sphagnum moss? peat moss? do you cover them up to elevate humidity? do you ever let these go dry?

sorry to bombard you with questions :)

The media is my standard mix for bog plants, about a 50/50 mix of peat moss and sand, with some live Sphagnum on top. It's important that the sand doesn't contain limestone. I also chose a pot that was a few years old, figuring the decomposition of the substrate would mean more fungus would be present. I keep them in a tray with an inch of rain water in it, and don't worry about humidity.
