PNorchids, it should be fine as long as you allow for some drying out inbetween watering. Most people would cringe if they see how dry I allow the LFS on the top to become. So allow me to quote what Robert posted on the S'pore forum. ;)

"The top exposed media layer looked dry but try to investigate the inner part and it feels moist...

If the top layer look dry spray a small amount of water to it to comfort yourself. :laugh:"

Wish I had seen your burnt red earth thread when my other campanulata shows signs of rotting.

Now I'm growing the only one left with natural mountain red earth it's doing well.

You have grown the "rejects" into Swans now! I'm sure it would be hard for you to part with them now.
