It looks great! Just curious, does your Nep suffer from root rot? I feel like sphag moss requires a lot more water than a nep.

It has not up to this point. However, it is in a mix of LFSM, Peat and coco chips. 1:1:2:. It seems to do best when bagged and inside my indoor greenhouse. Humidity runs about 98%. Not sure why the brown spots on the leaves. I am going to place in my outdoor greenhouse once summer rolls around again to see how it does.

Normally. Pretty dry in the summer. Not sure why but it seems to do better bagged. Like I said, I want to see how well it does outside next season.

My cat Mya has a great relationship with my CPs. She talks at them constantly, providing increased airflow which gives them strength (wind resistance) as well as helps move stagnant air away from them. In return, they provide her with oxygen, increase ambient humidity in the drier months, and improve her world with their beauty. They also engage her mind as she studies them often.
