Ross, I always wondered about the roots... they were that colour when it arrived. Mine is mounted on tree fern fibre which probably holds more water than your mount. But by 10 PM, the roots themselves are dry. Interestingly enough, the little white hairs that developed where the roots are touching the mount are still white. Though it hasn't grown any new root since I got it, just the existing roots growing at the tips. The roots are firm and plump, the side away from the mount is almost woody in feel, the side towards the mount is lighter and has those fine hairs in places - any idea of what would have caused the colour?
