You made it easy. I have watched a number of videos in the past and, although, they all are very informative, the majority are slightly confusing to the average person.

hi great video! new subscriber 😊 i would like to know if you can help me out with peperomia caperata pink lady plant. would it do well in a mix like this? i just bought one and it is in sphagnum moss which i know nothing about. can i leave it in that when do change it for new sphagnum moss and when should i water it etc?

Hi! What I like about sphagnum is that you can easily see when it's dry and needs a drink. I avoid repotting until the plant is either outgrowing it's current pot home, or isn't happy in it's current medium. If the plant is happy now, keep it as is 😊. Check for when the sphagnum is just about to dry out completely then water.

Also, I would only worry about changing the sphagnum if it starts breaking down or gets moldy. I know it's not that helpful, but you will kinda know when you see it. With good airflow, it will last a while 👍🏼
