I have not updated on my plants for ages on this thread. I had been growing 3 plants bareroot in vases. This seemed to work for a couple of years. I then noticed last year that the roots were struggling to have the growth they had previously shown. This spring I decided to pot all three into plastic net vases containing a mix of epiweb,bark,charcoal pieces..and adjusting each mix to how the roots were progressing in their growth in my conditions
I, now water every 3/4 days (by soaking- instead of every day) and have alot of new root growth which I am very happy about. I was obviously not providing enough humidity around the roots before and that's why they were slowly drying up.. took years and they haven't missed a beat in their flowering schedules either.
