I just installed this air layering pod with moist sphagnum moss but now I realize I can’t water it without completely removing it, which doesn’t seem very ideal. I’ve never air layered before, I’m not sure how long the moss will take to dry out in a pod like this.. are there any other tricks I can do to keep the moss moist? Any tips?

Damn maybe I should’ve used the black ones cause I assume they evaporate slower?

Neh, just pour a little water on top and it’ll trickle down into the moss and spread from there. Or maybe just open it up a tiny bit and then water it that way…?
I honestly just use cling wrap on mine and open up the wrap for a misting of water every week or so. This looks way nicer though 🤣
Just cover your clear one with foil and it will stay moist long. And no light helps too
I had some props in moss and I used one of those squeeze water containers like they use in labs to keep things moist. Might work with your drill idea
Love your melano. Do you live in a humid place? I can’t see to get mine to give larger leaves
I’ve tried using these things twice and both times rotted the stem. It’s hard to get the right balance of moisture with the fully enclosed orb, and you can’t watch for progress.
