Especially the roots that hang in the air are very sensitive to that. Maybe consider covering it with some linen? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] stiephelando@discuss.tchncs.de [S] 6 points 1 year ago (1 child) I don't think I have linen lying around, but I have some old shirts and towels.
