Hi Sandra

I would advise against sphagnum for Tolumnias. They like to dry out
after each watering. I have had some success with the following
method.


Keep them all together after de-flasking. Don't disturb the roots any
more that you really have to. Put the whole lot, still together as
they came out of the flask, into a shallow, empty container with
holes in the bottom, and water each morning. Works for me.

If you insist on using sphagnum, only use a thin layer underneath the
roots so that they dry out before days end.

A great method of potting them when they get a bit bigger, is to get
an 80mmm (3inch) round basket, and put a group of wine corks around
the inside edge. Sit a plant in the centre and water each day. Mine
grow great like that and they can be left that way for years.

Good luck anyway,

Tony
