Is this airy enough?
Just wanna share a picture of the media i use to pot my neps....Is it airy enough? I use a mixture of Sphagnum moss,perlite,burnt earth and a little bit of charcoal...Do you guys add more chunky stuff(perlite/pumice) in your media to have better drainage?

Re: Is this airy enough?
'Airyness' of media depends on frequency of watering and surrounding humidity. Miranda does not mind all sorts of media, so it is a good one to experiment with..

As suggested by kepikimut, try to use "bigger" chuncks of media. That's will definately make it more airy.
