I have had my Tevaplanter for about 8 months now. I planted it with two moss varieties, a mini moth orchid (just a little guy from the grocery store after the flowers faded) and some rabbitfoot fern cuttings. I sanitized and wired a stick to the side of it to give the orchid more to grab on to. I have watered regularly with tap water (our tap water is very good and I haven't had any issues so far) but honestly have only fertilized twice. I make a fertilizer bath dunk bowl for a few other epiphites and have just dipped the whole planter in the bath (not letting it get inside) and that has not seemed to have any negative effects on the planter. I will do it more diligently this upcoming growing season and report back. The orchid initially declined a bit when I first tethered it to the planter, but now has stabilized and has put out a BUNCH of new roots. No new flower spike, but the leaves are fat and glossy and the roots look very healthy. The rabbitfoot fern has a lot of new rhizome growth but no new fronds yet. It also seems happy enough. 🤷♀️ the moss has been curiously slow to get started. There is obvious new growth but a bunch of it is obviously dead, too. I may trim it but won't pull it off - I am optimistic that the moss will eventually thrive on this guy.
Overall, I really like the planter. I don't think it's any less maintenance than other pot, just a little different and super cool looking. I am very excited to see how the 2nd growing season goes with this now that the plants are acclimated. I am optimistic that they will thrive long-term
