The sponge can definatly get funky...but at least they're made of
synthetic stuff that won't rot. If its home to mildew, meh...maybe a
lil' stinky but that's not too big a deal. I would say that they never
come CLOSE to the cornucopia of stuff found in bark and moss.

About the repotting : Nightmare to clean all the little sponge chunks
from the roots ?? The roots will cling to the sponge chunks ?
Yeah...that probably will be ugly...but how would that be different
than the aliflor (that I looked up) ?

Sorry. About the sponge: repotting could turn into a minor nightmare, no?
And, it's not infrequent for me to pick up a sponge next to the sink and
smell mildew, no matter how clean I try to keep them.

Just sayin'.
