The root mentioned in 130607 post, which came into contact with the diatomite, maintains the contact as it grows along the diatomite without any problems. The green growth tip has now gone out of sight as it grows into the medium. A second root has just touched the diatomite and will be observed for its reaction towards the medium.
More time is needed for observation to conclude if this culture (medium and watering regime) is more suitable for this phal cornu-cervi plant than the previous culture. It is still too early to conclude if the few hypothesis are right.
Algae has started to grow on both the sphagnum moss and diatomite surfaces exposed to light. Will be observing how the roots respond to these algae.
On the whole, the plant has been growing well since remounting. It did not shown signs of stress or slowing down due to the remount, and the flower bud is developing well.
