KC...my own personal view.
Our challenge now is to acclimatise them from camerons temperature to KL temperature. I am placing mine in the garden area where it is the coolest and make sure i wet the garden nightly to bring down the temperature. I worry if it rains too much coz the LFS will become too wet. if can, protect the outdoor ceph from rain. no direct sun. bright area will be fine & good air movement.
in about 2 weeks, or when i see new growth, i will change the media to peat / sand. Cindy says to be careful of the roots as they break very easily.
my ceph from cindy gets morning sun only. but it is direct hot sun. it gets rains but the water drains thru the medium. i don`t like using LFS 100% as it becomes soggy outdoors ( Cindy places her LFS cephs indoors i think )
and retains too much water.
KC, we go step by step. keep the fella alive first, then worry about the media.
