Here's my little container of d. filiformis Florida Giant x Trayci sprouts. They were started back in May so they're now seven months old and most are an inch long or more. They have been growing in flooded live sphagnum moss the entire time with a ventilated cover. They were first started outdoors and eventually moved indoors when the weather turned cold (for a spell). The've since been underneath an 8000-lumen "garage" light and seem to have responded well to it (I guess).
Anyhow, I'm about ready to move them to more personal digs. I've got some 5-1/2" pots and some 2-3/4" pots. I'm planning on putting four each in two of the large pots and thinking of the rest as singles in the smaller pots. There's roughly a dozen plants.
My question is what media should I transplant them into? The options that I'm looking at are:
* 50:50 Peat moss to Perlite (top dressed with LFSM)
* 50:50 Peat moss to Play Sand (top dressed with LFSM)
* 100% Live sphagnum moss (what they've been growing in, but it would decimate my stock)
* Live sphagnum in a 50:50 mix with perlite
* Dried LFSM (Better-Gro from Lowes), mixed with either play sand or perlite...50:50 ratio.
I'd like to hear some thoughts on this. I've brought the plants along this far...I'd hate to mess'em up now!!!
Thanks!
