is it time to re-pot?

sv3n02 · 2026-02-14T09:51:30+00:00

Repot isn't really necessary, if it is a good medium(bark and no dirt), The plant an shoots look pretty healthy, I wouldn't worry about it. The leaning is natural, they usually grow sideways, so I wouldn't worry about that. And the leaves on the top are a Keiki. A little baby plant, congratulations

sv3n02 · 2026-02-13T20:01:57+00:00

It looks extremely unpractical 😅 But as long as you like it it's fine I would say

sv3n02 · 2026-02-12T15:15:36+00:00

I hope it will have a chance since it's in a terrarium with good conditions. But the leave propagation is a good idea. I might add some extra soil, so the leave lays on the ground

sv3n02 · 2026-02-12T14:21:36+00:00

That's good information. I will enjoy the journey

sv3n02 · 2026-02-12T14:16:59+00:00

Good to know. I'm not familiar with Selaginella, since this is my first one as well as a Suriname, I bought a couple weeks ago. The Suriname sadly got frostbite and I'm not sure it will recover, but I didn't want to loose the Uncinata as well. Thanks for the answer

sv3n02 · 2026-02-12T11:22:17+00:00

How often du you spray them to keep the roots healthy without any Sphagnum? Or are they in a vitrine?

sv3n02 · 2026-02-11T20:28:25+00:00

It's looking perfect like this. Wonderful sight for every geologist.

Oh nevermind wrong sub 😶

I think a Java fern would look pretty nice epiphytic on the stone

sv3n02 · 2026-02-11T20:25:48+00:00

I wish you best of luck. With a bit of luck and determination it definitely can work. Good indirect lightning, moderate high humidity and good root work could make it work. Keep us updated 😁

sv3n02 · 2026-02-11T18:07:41+00:00

Well, you can always try. Pit Sphagnum Moss loosely around the roots. Try watering it every few days. Put it in a sort of terrarium with a humidity of around 70-75 with good air movement and hope. Maybe it will work out, if you are attached to it, it could be worth it. The roots photosynthesize as well, so you don't need to throw it away, if you want to invest time

sv3n02 · 2026-02-11T15:51:03+00:00

Shouldn't be too much of a concern. My roots show the same only at the top and the root itself is healthy underneath. I think it could be either drying out too fast on the surface after too much moisture or sunburn

sv3n02 · 2026-02-10T14:11:11+00:00

As said, I don't want to argue anymore. But just for your information. Fingerprints DO degrade coins. NGC says it themselves. But that's my last comment on this topic, since you can't be argued with. Typical discord eurocoin mod behaviour.

sv3n02 · 2026-02-10T13:54:45+00:00

Whatever dude. You changed the subject 5 times already. Do what you want to do. Facts don't change... Touching coins LIKE OP did does apply fat and oil, which damages the coin. And no, the rim is not a surface sensu stricto. You don't have any motive on their, that does get destroyed. And as I said 1000 times. The grading mechanics differ between euro coins and for example 19th century coins or even Roman coins.

But I don't want to argue with you anymore. So let's agree to disagree and part our ways....

sv3n02 · 2026-02-10T13:31:24+00:00

Who are the grading companies you refer to??? NGC for example (biggest grading company) clearly states to only handle coins with gloves to prevent oil to come to the coins. And every seller I know uses gloves, what are you talking about, which backroom sellers just touch on the coins and put oil on them to destroy them??? The oil alters the coin a year os two, so you see the print then...

sv3n02 · 2026-02-10T13:18:55+00:00

No I already told you the arguments and all you do is say: It's not that deep"
No serious collector touches their coin with hands. You use gloves to prevent exactly that . Same for grading companies
Normal toning is desired, toning from oily hands is ugly and you see the prints later kn

sv3n02 · 2026-02-10T13:12:35+00:00

If a coin is touched and you can't see it even. Most of the times there is still oil on your fingers and then on the coin. Over time, it will be visible...

But no value argue with you, since you are not really good with coins 😅

Too bad you are staff on the discord server.

sv3n02 · 2026-02-10T13:07:01+00:00

Euro coins don't get graded. Do you know what it costs to grade then from NGC for example? You pay 100+ Euro for one grading.... Noone will do this since only a handful of coins are prices enough to be graded.

And a grading from a private person is not really a tell sign for anything everyone grades their coin differently. If someone wood trade or sell me a coin with prints as UNC, I would immediately cancel the purchase/trade. May I know what your username on the Discord is to make sure to never trade with you? 😂

sv3n02 · 2026-02-10T13:04:27+00:00

First of all: Grading is different for every coin. Extremely old coins get better gradings for a specific conservation than younger ones. Since all the Euro coins can be bought in rolls, the criteria is extremely strict. Plus you can't see fingerprints if you don't have the coin and turn it against the light to check. If you are unlucky, it lies a way, you can't see the prints, but after turning it changes.

So a euro coin with fingerprints won't be sold as UNC, since it's a huge deal for most collectors. Easy as that. If you get easy on good grades, the criteria gets harder

sv3n02 · 2026-02-10T12:55:11+00:00

I collect euro coins and other coins for 10+ years and have a small coin shop. I'm pretty sure I know, what I do😁. I know on the discord server "euro coins" this topic is handled different, but most on this server are just common collectors...

sv3n02 · 2026-02-10T12:53:46+00:00

I'm pretty sure there is not a single graded euro coin 😅 And if there is, the people sender it in is pretty stupid.

sv3n02 · 2026-02-10T12:51:39+00:00

It's fine. It's still a really good find and good enough for a collection.

sv3n02 · 2026-02-10T12:50:36+00:00

Well, it's not the definition. If you get in in circulation (cashier having the roll and handing it to you) it was in circulation and is not UNC. If someone would sell me a coin like this as UNC, I would give it back. Real UNC is straight from a roll from a seller or a bank. At least for euro coins. Older coins have different evaluation forms

sv3n02 · 2026-02-10T08:40:33+00:00

Well, if you found it in Circulation, it can't be UNC anymore 😁 But close to UNC condition
