I have grown catts of all types in about everything imaginable (you know
what my current preference is).

As far as sphagnum is concerned, the obvious key is keeping it fluffy and
airy. As was mentioned, Alan Koch is a big proponent, but you have to keep
in mind that he uses only the species of sphagnum designated as the 5-star
New Zealand type, which has a much longer life-span in the pot than do other
species, and he has tailored his conditions and watering regimen to match
it.

Hi Joanna,

I had very good luck growing mini-Catts in moss. Where I had a hard time
was in the repotting. When the moss goes bad and needs to be replaced, I
found the roots to be a matted mess with no easy way to remove the old
moss without lots of root damage. As much as I love moss, I grow
mini-Catts in a bark mix where repotting requires you simply to 'shake
out' the old bark.

I was wondering if it is a really bad idea to repot a mini-Catt into moss?
I don't think I have ever seen a mini-Catt grown in moss and thus I
wonder.

Thanks,
Joanna
