@DreamMachine yes I do! I do about 1-1 1/2 inches of LECA at the bottom for a drainage layer, and then Sphagnum Moss for the substrate. I let the moss soak for 15 minutes on watering day with a very light fertilizer in with the water, and then dump out as much as possible and let whatever’s left over collect at the bottom. I have had problems in the past with mold growth, but keeping a fan gently blowing on it seems to help keep the mold away. I only water when the moss is crunchy dry. I learned this technique of semi-hydro from some German guy on Instagram back when I was on social media, and he always had these huge gorgeous Alocasias. Seems to work pretty well!
@MilkNewt oooh very pretty cloche. 🥰 Have you read the book Tiny Plants? By Leslie F Halleck. That cloche just made me think of it since she adores cloches and has lots of different glass enclosures from fancy to ordinary for many of her tiny plants.
Well, barring when I have them in humidity boxes, a fan will probably be my best bet since I do all of those things too minus the fan. Maybe I don’t need humidity boxes 🤔—said the bog witch 😂

@DreamMachine I’ve been sleeping on cloches for too long! My local Michael’s almost always has them, and the nursery near my house has a collection that I love to wander now that I’m privy to them
@MilkNewt that’s awesome! I’m always on the lookout 👀 every time I’m in a thrift store 🫙
