Grew this baby from a corm that I thought rotted but pulled through 🌱 Any advice on transplanting from sphagnum to soil? 💚

So cute! Try starting it off in fluval stratum first and then once it has a few more leaves you can transfer to a soil that has a lot of perlite, leca, coco coir, bark, and just don’t let the soil get completely dry☺️

Thanks so much 💜

Congratulations, it seems like this one’s a survivor. As Steph has already mentioned a porous and airy substrate is good to use in the beginning. It’s also a good idea to pot it in increasingly bigger pots as the plant grows and it’s better if it gets frequent repottings rather than planting it in a very large pot at once
