Remounted (1) {Plant1}

This plant is remounted today.

The sphagnum moss on the front and sides of the basket are removed so that the plant will be mounted directly onto the diatomite surface instead of the original sphagnum moss surface. The new media now comprises mainly diatomite with a layer of sphagnum moss at the rear of the basket.

Watering regime is also altered to once every morning with the roots drying out between waterings, and the new medium becomes almost completely dry in about a day's time.
