I'll try and snap a pic tomorrow. In the meantime I'll add another layer. I hated the sand, because it kept running out the bottom of the pot when I watered. So I comprimised with layers of sphag and sand, using the sphag to more or less keep the sand in place. It's sitting a little above the medium, like I'd plant an iris, and the new growth is very slow to develop (light green), so I'll add another layer, and try to keep it moister. I'm behind on all my watering, so I'm trying to look out for those plants most sensitive.

Does it alternate leaves versus spikes?
