No harm at this stage. aqueeze the wet sphagnum moss so that they are not wet and add perlite 70% to the mix. keep media moist to dry.

Thanks a lot for the advice, will try to get those material as soon as I can(the only shop selling those stuff in my home town burned down about 2 weeks ago), my plan at the moment is to keep it some where bright without direct sunlight, watering by spraying water on the leaves to let the water slowly move down a bit, hope this will keep it survive

Re: N. Campanulata

a bit of update:

-one of the two remaining leafs turning black, finally found a bag of burned soil many kilometers away, repotted it, the bottom consist of coco chips and sphagnum moss to hold the burn soil, about 1/3 of the total medium, and the 2/3 are purely burn soil, how often should I water it? thanks:smile:

Re: N. Campanulata

How big is your pot and did you sieve the burnt soil before using it?? Many factors (icluding the ones I just asked) affect your watering frequency.

The idea is to only keep it moist not wet with water draining easily from the media.

Re: N. Campanulata

Sieve is actually filter... but you said you rinse the burned soil many times, so that should be fine.

This is my campa when I first got it... in bad condition... almost didn't make it :sweating:

Notice my burnt soil?? You can only get that if you "sieve". *biggrin2*
