Also, based on what I've read, the moss does not seem like a popular choice... most things mentioning charcoal (like this post). Should the plant be repotted? The moss dries out fairly quickly (watered in the morning, it is fairly dry by night).

Further. Are coconut husk chips an acceptable medium for this type of plant? I have lots available that have been used when growing citrus, which would afford me a bit of convenience in not having to acquire another bag to take up what limited space we have .

Forum looks great. Can't wait to learn more and see what these little plants can do.

Well... If you grow them right, you will have trouble keeping them in a 3" pot. I think I'm growing mine right, some are in 6" tree fern pots and needed to be divided years ago.

Moss is good for a while. But it will break down long before you need to repot. I like tree fern. But mainly I like to mount them on cedar shakes. They grow best mounted.

I don't know why coconut chips wouldn't work. As long as you have them.
