    Well I took the plunge and have got two neo. Falcata plants ( different varietys) and well I it must be me but I really cannot get this to work for me LOL for the moment they are back in their pots surrounded by sphag, waiting for me to come up with a better idea my moss strands didnt seem that long and I really couldnt cover the roots the moss just kept on falling off, I now have a forest green kitchen LOL

    Carrie one does need to get good quality, long-stranded moss...New Zealand Sphag is the best, IMHO

    This was just garden centre hanging basket sphag which might be why I am having issues. I think I will get a couple of clay pots and try mounting them on those. they look very healthy plants and are larger than I expected also.

    Ron advised February is the best for cold beer..ummmmmmmm repotting time... Neo babies are still too little and won't be ready for August, but if they hurry up a bit there might be couple deserving their own pot in November?! Where in Florida you are coming?
