Start with one healthy plant- Unpot it..notice the roots growing out of the bottom. I use a piece of screen on bottom of pot as the holes at the bottom are a bit big......and that's Chilean LFS for medium..... Note the long roots....much longer then I thought they would be (before I noted they were coming out the bottom of the pot of course). Final Result......Four or Five viable plants....assuming they all take of course....time will tell but I think they should all be okay. On one I took off all the juvenille pitchers so it just has the larger adult ones (bottom left). Upper left is bits that came off other sections. One in upper right in perlite for now because I ran out of Chilean Sphagnum (so is the the one with "bits" ...it just got a top dressing of sphagnum scraps. My other H. Minor is growing poorly so I will throw it out. Not worth keeping the weak plants....keep the good growers!!!

Your heli's are killer Curlingguy, How long you had him?? And why arent yours growing mad amounts of moss???
I find That the roots get stuck to the bottom most mesh, or wire, i simply stick a small round rock in the holes and then fish tank rocks then substrate. Ofcoarse if roots arent getting stuck then there's no prob.

Nice! Where does one find Chilean LFS? And did you get the moss live, or did some just start growing on the top layer?

Hal, I know you can find Chilean LFS at Sheridan Nurseries, but it's 9.99... (and you don't get a HECK of a lot)... I know that with my NZ LFS, live moss will start growing on the top of it after a couple of weeks. All you have to do it water it and give it light. It grows pretty slow in my experience, but it does grow.
