Good for you! And at a reasonable price too. I see Matt tried for that one as well.

You do know there's a minimaru shima listed for Friday nite? Oh wait, I see you already said you won't be bidding on that one.

I'm the luckiest one - I didn't win any (yet) this week.

Yeah the price was pretty good! and no, i won't be getting a shima any time soon-- first, they're expensive and second, until I get the culture down of seds in general, I don't be laying too much cash down only to be disappointed when they die. My remaining shima is on its way out as is chabo.

I now know that I was in fact over watering and there are other factors involved, too. I can usually get a plant to replace their roots but with the fertilizer apparently burning the tips (and I used very light fertilizer), the health of the plant kept declining.

So the plants I do have remaining have been repotted using aquamat which I believe I can more adequately flush and keep them as airy as possible while keeping moisture available about the roots.

No idea if this will work but might as well try.

I have a minmaru I repotted earlier this week that has restarted old root tip growth and it's already growing on to a bit of the aquamat-- which is very good news!

As you know I had trouble with the Sidereas as well. I purchased two more and they seem to be doing well I was also overwatering them.

I am not so comfortable with the moss either but the aquamat will be hard for me to get accustomed to because it looks unnatural. Neos can grow in other mediums a friend of my uses lava rock & they do well mounted for some people. For now I will continue to pot them in the traditional Japanese style.

Btw, I loved your pot I have all of my Neos in my pots as well. It adds to my enjoyment of them. I just purchased 2 new Neos on eBay from Jason so I will have to make a couple more pots for them when I return from visiting my daughter. Good luck with the aquamat.
