Diana, The mix is 50% pumice,50% organic compost, The get a liquid feed about every 3 weeks, and that's about it. I'm hoping this means it's a vigorous cross. I should know by the weekend. I"m floored at the prompt blooming. Oh! I also do a foliar treatment of Fulvic Acid, BAP99% and Indole-3 Butyric Acid 1%,once a month during the growing season.
