Ideally, the back end of the rhizome should be higher in the soil, but Dana should be happy enough the way she is planted now. Enjoy!

As they do, especially with peat, the media can only go so far due to the pot, and will pile up around the plant. With the plant being up a little higher, you usually don't have to mess with it until it needs a repot.
I usually like to place mine a bit on the higher side. I figure it’s a lot easier to add soil and not disturb the roots, than to have to bring the plant up.

Also, having the woodier rhizome exposed can encourage more growth points to form along that portion of the rhizome, particularly with a fresh division. That happens frequently with me, and it produces a larger plant more quickly.Supercazzola wrote:Another thing to consider is that, as the plant grows, the rhizome will too.
