Hi,

I believe that you and I bought the same plant at WM. Mine is in bark, with some sphag, perlite, and charcoal. I am watering every 2-3 days also. My leaves accordianed at first, but partly I believe it was the non-care that it had recieved at the store that really did it. I find that mine likes to just go to the sink and take a shower, I actually just did that a few minutes ago. It doesn't seem to mind being wet at all, and is growing like a weed. I let it just start to dry out then water it again. I find the bark mix does dry out faster, but it doesn't bother my Catts at all, and really is not bothering the Mtdm either. I think the Mtdm. is just a thirsty plant no matter what, mine is almost twice the size it was when I bought it . I don't mist mine, and as long as I give it a good shower, it does not seem to bother it. The Aussie Gold might be okay for this particular plant if it retains some moisture. I am not sure how long it has been since you got it, but the only consideration I would suggest is if it was recently potted to the bark (last 2 or 3 months) that you give it through the winter until you repot it, as it is still likely just getting used to being in your home, and the mix it is in.
