The bottom of a water bottle works good to keep humidity in your pot and keep it from drying out too fast. This one is a 1-2 month old Washingtonia filifera in a west-facing window. Soil is mostly coconut coir and vermiculite.

Lowest seen: 16F, Highest seen: 105F. Heavy red clay (iron oxide). Amended to 6.5-7PH using Dolomitic lime. (No yearly fertilizer for lawn, just for independent plants).

Looks Good. Be careful, as humidity is a killer for these, especially w/o heat. They're prone to rot in the first year or two.

It's a fine line to walk between keeping things moist and creating mold/mildew/damping off. If it was easy everyone would do it.

Can't you just remove the plastic thing now?
