Thanks Joann. Keep me updated with your experiment! It sounds like a good one. I'm really into this whole S/H thing right now. I hope they do well for you.

I had a couple of the leaf pleated but they did stretch out. Maybe I will step the water too.

It's potted with moss as it came from Andy's. I water with 125 ppm's of msu fert. every time I water which is about 5 times a week.

Hi,
I ended up splitting mine. I mounted a piece & kept the rest of the plant in it's pot. I also added spagh to both as I had leaf pleating too. I water the one in the pot twice a week and the mounted one about 3/4 times a week.

You waters yours 5 times a week? I water mine probably 2x a week. Sometimes maybe 3? I'm wondering if I should up mine? Then again, mine is inside an apt on a window sill so that could be the difference........
