the beauty of nature
hmm, my phrag giganteum is in bug and going to have itz first bloom soon. currently i count 3 buds. one is starting to develop the colours and the soon are to follow
the problem is it is developing some mold in the pot (i use clear ones so i can see it). i use leca but with no reservoir. last time repotted it when i bought, i couldnt clear off the old medium that has been completely entangled by itz huge mass of roots and at that moment, i didnt want to just lop it all of since it was developing itz buds. so i placed everything with the leca into a new pot for now.
from the first bud until the last one falls off, it will be about 6-9 weeks time. i do not want to do anything funky with it until then and risk my blooms. is there anything i can do until then--keeping it on the drier side? and what can i do when it finishes bloom and time to fix up all the mold and stuff? just lop of all the entangled roots?
it currently has 2 new strong leads coming at the same time as it is growing the buds. this guys is very strong, it took me 1/2 hr just to pry this guy out of itz 4" pot...
