I've had a mastersianum for several years now, and it just gets smaller and smaller...despite regular repotting
Well that was kind of the story for the mother plant of these seedlings. Up down up up down down down dead.
So far I haven't lost any of these seedlings. The ones that have gone into baskets are way ahead of the ones still in pots. But the potted ones are growing better than expected (especially after flushing the crap out of the pots).
I paid a lot of attention to the humidity factor when I had the mother plant in my collection, and I still believe that these South Pacific species really need to be maintained at >70% humidity. But the present nutrition regime is producing a whole different plant with regards to root growth and leaf substance.
