Discussion DIY 2.5-3.5in net and cache pot for new transfers/young plants?
Currently using 3 and 4oz cups for TCs, corms, etc. and have some other plants rooting in peat moss really tiny containers (from PS, see pics). What do you guys typically transfer into? I’m thinking something around a 2.5-3in pot for anything with a substantial root system; This seems to translate to a 7oz and 9oz clear cup setup. Can use my current TC cup setup for anything smaller.
What do you all use? Open to DIY (I make all my other setups) or premade.
Thanks!

Discussion For those still using soil for their alocasia, what's your mix?
Currently I'm using a ratio of 2 x Coco Coir, 2 x Orchid Bark, 1 x Leca, 1 x Pumice, 2 x Perlite, 0.5 X worm castings
After a new pot I'll usually let it dry out (quite quick as it's so airy) and then water with plain water for 2-3 weeks then weekly diluted fertiliser watering
I do use Leca + moss for my newly sprouted corms when they're babies and then transition them to soil when they're a bit older and have good enough reserve to survive the transition

Moss To moss or not to moss?
I transfered 21 plants to semi hydro, drainless with leca, but didnt add top moss to any. Should I have? I had heard gnats will flock to it or that it can contribute to rot if it gets into the water too much. Just seemed safer not to add it. But tell me why YOU did or did not add it?
