Great talk - nice to hear the exploration of these topics from different perspectives. I was generally appreciative of the degradation timeline for highlanders (when kept too warm) that Drew covered-most people don't cover that so clearly. Extrapolating from that...if a highland hybrid is actively growing roots and getting bigger leaves during the height of summer...then it's probably not suffering from heat-related issues, right? Also, I'm not at all surprised that "lush sphag" eventually leads to problems like root rot: as the new layer grows, the old layer dies, compacts and suffocates the roots-it's the same problem a lot of houseplant and orchid growers encounter with any organic media...which is why (in my opinion) inert media are very valuable for long-term health of roots.
Well said Drew. I agree that pattern of how they seem to die. It is really discouraging to see plants crash; the roots go first, and by the time I always realize, it is a bit too late.
Thanks a lot for all of your efforts in making this video avaliable for the everyone. Really appreciate the sharing of expert experience and knowledge. Happy growing
Why few thumb up left in this video, much more helpful than most of tutorials 😅all these precious info are priceless, they risk their plants and demonstrate a workable combination of each component to show you guys the best result 🥹

Really amazing stuff ! Love those round-tables !
These videos are so valuable. Thanks for the hard work in organizing them!
There's a ton of really great info here! Thank you!
Loaded with great information! 😃
I'm growing everything in pure coco husk chips and they seem to be doing great. Incredibly loose and airy. I water daily, sometimes skip a day.
