Hi all, I use sphagnum moss in a large number of pots and many different types. However the main reason why the moss goes slimy is the use of chemical fertilizer. I only use organic fertilizer and have no problems. A number of people that I know who use chemical fertilizer are not able to grow in sphag. for more than a few months before repotting. Also Sharon , your cattleya looks quite good and I am not sure what you are worried about. I have a couple of thousand and if they all looked like that I would be very happy. The new growths will catch up and no doubt exceed the previous years growth. However, it does take time. Cheers Max.
