Photographed at Ecuagenera's main nursery in Gualaceo, Ecuador (near Cuenca).
Ecuagenera grows their Phrags in raised concrete troughs about 16" deep. The troughts are filled with a mixture of sphagnum moss and lava rock - very light, spongy and moist.

Ooh Ooh Ooh! Bring the 2nd one back!!! Can you post a photo of the phrag troughs please. :D
Here you go! Not the one with the schlimii, but.....
This reminds me of the hypertufa troughs I make for alpines. The wicking action of the concrete really helps to keep the root zone nice and cool.
