What's the recipe?

 

[Bio]

Lucky you. You get the luxury of being able to grow these beauties outside year round.

Looking good so far.

1/4 peat, 1/4 lfs, 1/4 pumice, and 1/4 lava rock. First i mix the peat and lfs, then i take half off that and mix with the lava rocks then that would be the bottom layer. Then take the other half of peat and lfs and mix it with the pumice , that would be the second layer then i gently place the plant in and cover with lfs as a top layer.

Ps3, im sure that mix is fine. The Savage Garden says that your mix is ideal so you should be fine

Agreed you should be fine. They like the substrate airy to keep the roots cool thats why i made my recipe the way i did.
