We grow the water-loving Phrags with individual pots sitting in a (humidity) tray of 1" deep R/O or rain water, not in individual saucers. Once a week, we dump the water from the trays, water the individual pots (still sitting in the trays), dump the water out of the trays again and refill the trays with 1" deep fresh R/O or rain water. When we fertilize, we remove the pots from the trays, run fertilizer water through them, then place them back in the tray of R/O or rain water. We grow our long-petalled Phrags and species from Section Micropetallum (except besseae or d'alessandroi) like we grow our Parvis -lots of light, smaller pots, and allowed to dry out between waterings. Seems to have worked well for us.............
I started using this system 2 weeks ago. Now I'm seeing roots coming to the surface of all those I've placed in the trays. Is this a problem? I re-potted about 3 months ago, so I don't feel comfortable doing it again so soon.
Any opinions/advice? Thanks
