These 7/8 inch ones are really, really tiny. I have a sleeve of them. It's what I used inside my Aoshinju plant's roots, but they would be much too small for my larger plants. Unlike Marco, I like my plants to dry more quickly.
It may be some work, but it actually is the best way to water daily with quick drying I think, although, I probably won't be doing that for now.
Thanks!
What are some factors involved with shima stripes disappearing?
Random based on gene expression, too little light (I would assume too much light will creat unwanted purple or burning?), wrong feeding??
Marco, I water daily. They are bone dry by the end of the day. I realize not everyone has the luxury of time to do this. It works very well for me. My plants are happy.
Definitely there is the thing about alternating between bright light and moderate light at two week intervals during the growing season (some say 4 to 6 week intervals), especially for certain varieties like Kara Nishiki. I think increasing the light level by about 25% in winter is good as well.
