Really?? Try going to the Seed Engei website and send Satomi an email. I think she has them too but she takes a long time to reply. Sometimes you have to email her several times. |

Wow, is this a sphagnum ball?
I also love how big the roots look, when compared to the plant!

Very beautiful and pristine looking! I'll show my Neo's this picture and maybe they will realize how far behind they are and kick it into high gear!

Yes, this is grown in pure sphagnum moss. When I pot it up, I do create a cavity in the middle. However the bottom is completely covered with sphag. I just find they grow better this way and don't get as stressed in the winter when I let them dry out completely under the T5's. |

The pure sphag retains alot of water but in my low humidity environment, it dries fast. I have a fan for constant air flow and it's bright under the T5's. |
