I'm very pleased with it. there were (are) loads there !! had trouble choosing I must admit !! Ii's in a plastic container inside that ceramic one. the root system is very well established, although they are a little green. I'm thinking that they can photosynthisize at times as they grow arial roots but please correct me if I'm wrong ! I'm thinking that this might be associated with the flowering period when the plant requires all the energy it can get, maybe ??

five Flowers are open, and sixteen are rearing to go.
