Kathy, about the cute little Bean guy - I just wrapped the roots loosely with some coconut fiber mixed with some Sponge Rok. Hopefully the roots will attach eventually to the claypot. Daily watering around here and this one will soon go into the bright light/uppermost rack under the ceiling, same as my Den bigibbum.
Regarding the moniliforme, I have a few of them and the best performer is my plain one which came mounted. This one flowers like bonkers this year. The second best is another mounted one. So for me, they seem to be growing better when mounted. (I need to mount my pink oneā¦)
I will talk to Matt, thanks.
