Tolumnia in SH
I have been told on this forum that it is unlikely a good idea to grow ones tolumnias in sh. I understand that their culture is quite specific. However, I recently received a plant, another Tolumnia, that is grow not in a terra pot with charcoal like so many are, but in a plastic pot and in sphagnum moss! How crazy is that? I was amazed because the plant clearly stays wet for much longer than it would if it were grown in a traditional Tolumnia fashion.
Observe,
And a close up of the root area and moss,
The plant appears to have been growing in this moss for quite some time and appears quite healthy. So my question is, could this plant in fact be grown in sh, and if not the traditional way, perhaps in a way that the reservoir was a good ways away from keeping the roots soaking wet? I could be totally wrong here but it seems that whenever I transition a plant from moss to sh, I rarely ever lose any of the roots because they have already essentially grown in water with the constantly wet moss. If this Tolumnia is thriving in the moss, would it not thrive like other moss-to-sh plants? I'd like some input.
