Yeah, a "feature" turned out to be an issue, instead. It is now fixed.

LOL I know the feeling (currently working on our next software release for my company and our developers are breaking things!!!!)

Ray-- your thoughts on using aquamat this way?? Two of the seds I've replanted I think that if they're lost its because they were already on their way out. The other two are quite healthy though-- I'm hoping this is a good fit. The plants are too small to grow in SH without it looking odd and moss just isn't cutting it.

It looks really nice, I'll give you that.

I have not done much experimentation with the rolled-up material; mostly the mix of AquaMat & EcoWeb, and the plants I have put in it seem to really like it.

I do find that plants taking better to it if I soak the media for about 30 minutes in hot water containing about a couple of tablespoons per gallon of citric acid first.

Thanks, Ray. I've tried to balance leaving the mat open and airy and still secure for the plants. This stuff holds the water well. If I soak the plant and pot completely, which I do when I need to apply some fertilizers for these small orchids, the mat holds a ton of water. I have to shake it pretty well to get it to open up again.

Ryan, you've definitely figured out a way to make it look attractive in the new media. I really, really hope it works out for you. You need to have Shimas that thrive!!

Thx. I hope they're happier too. In the one blurry pic you can see that it's growing a keiki.

I just submitted a big (to me) order to Ray-- this stuff is great people!!! One of my minmarus is growing its old roots with new tips right in to the aquamat.

I'm sold. Will transition other plants very soon. Like when I get my order. Hey Ray! My order? My plants thank you.
