I potted this as meticulously as i could. This was an expensive plant and i want to make sure it grows as good as it can

These pots are 5 by 5 inches and 7 inches deep. My Dcxl, Fts Etna are in these pots and are growing extremely well so these pots are very good

Do you think the plant is potted deep enough?

Looks fine, it will grow itself deeper so no need to worry.

I just lost a wip slim snapper to rot because i kept it to wet and wd had no sun cool temps are rain for 15 days. Now im trying to dry out all my plants as quick as possible. Its warmer now so its should be ok. Its ok to lose a slim snapper as i have 7 more.

Do they get much airflow? My VFTs experience very similar conditons during the winter, but I have never lost one due to rot. They were even in an extremely peaty mix during the winter, I think about 4/1 peat perlite mix.

My greenhouse is usually always open to let airflow in and it works fairly well. but i believe what caused my slim snapper to rot was i left the pot out in the cold rain for 2 days as i forgot I had it out. All my other plants are doing very well.

Id love to put a fan in there but my father does not want me to use more electricity as i used so much with the space heater during winter
