So my little Enc. Green Hornet is growing like topsy, at least 5 new pb's since I got it in January. I recently discovered that it has nothing but sphagnum as medium in the pot which worried me.

I got a new Ecoweb pot recently, and wonder if I need to laboriously pick out all the sphagnum that is enmeshed in the root system of the plant before it goes into the new pot? The roots are small and fragile and I'm worried I will do more harm than good.

The Epiweb pot does have a saucer, but it has drainage holes in it, thankfully. I also got a sheet of Ecoweb that I was thinking of using as mounting material, but would a small circle of it in the bottom of the new pot be a good idea? Or just some bark mix to hold the plant up at the right height?
