Thank you for your patience, back to the regularly scheduled programing.

Just potted in clay pots in chc (the stuff I have is from a hydroponics supply store - "coco croutons" is the name I think
, small chips and some fiber), a bit of perlite, some styro in the bottom. When I first got these, two were plenty big enough to divide, so I did, so I could try out the different media and different windows for them - one of each division went into chc, one each into sphag; one of each went into the shady east facing window, one each into the north facing window - all have done about the same (fairly well).
I am a big fan of chc - I don't use it exclusively, but do predominantly - retains moisture better than bark, it's quite airy, and lasts longer than bark - so much longer than sphag
Some people have reported having fungus/mold issues with chc - I have never had that problem, and from what I have read, coconut husk should be quite resistant to mold/fungus ...
