I haven't contributed much to the Neo forum in a while but Jim's comment just made my day and had me giggling like a 12 year old. You might want to skip the fancy pot for now and just get one of those $2 plastic slotted neo pots instead. One very important point, IMHO, is if you decide to grow them in the traditional moss mound, make sure they are hanging in the air or are in some kind of set up where the bottom part of the mound gets PLENTY of air movement. Otherwise, the mound doesn't dry as evenly. The moisture pools at the bottom and tah daaah.... Hello root rot. They definitely appreciate humidity and usually grow better with good humidity. If you can not provide decent RH, they usually don't croak but will need time to adjust to your environment. Enjoy your new neo. They smell lovely in bloom.
