This works mostly with the highland epiphytic species, but not so much for the lowland species such as N. bical, N. raff, or even N. mirabilis which all have extensive root systems and seem to do better in wet growing conditions. Just my 2 cents. ;) - Rich

This evening while watering noticed there was a visitor resting on the sphg.moss. It was hanged 1.5 metre above, and strange how it managed to find such an excellent spot among others:smile:

Marvin,
it was simple. you need a piece of wood or fern bark, lay some sphagnum moss on it and the neps, finally tie with strings.

Robert,you frog still ok cause sitting on top of the moss.My frogs dig inside moss.I was repotting one of my nep pot and i felt something like plastic bag.So,i pulled it.I was suprised it was a frog.In a short while,it uses it's back leg to dig inside and soon dissapeared.I went on to check few of my bigger pots and all of them have 1 frog each.Wonder if got any advantages/disadvantages of having a frog inside nep pot?
