Also, have you tried pure sphagnum moss which I was thinking of using as it would save time making a mix up and hold more moisture and save having to water frequently. Also, perlite can be hazardous to breath and handle. If you see any disadvantage of using pure sphagnum in a greenhouse where the rain does not reach the plants, please let me know.

Regards Richard.
I have to find out if i have plants to repot in relation to their original volume.

I use live sphagnum moss as toppings only. When it dries up only then i water them.
