I find the MSG have a good list and the IAS some odd things I should not try but do.<br />The soil mix I use is John Innes [which is loam based], sharp sand and aquarium gravel. I do not believe John Innes is available in the USA. I have not tried much in the way of different mixes as what I use seems to work. I did try peat based compost at one time but found it difficult when restarting watering.SUCCULENT SUNDAEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03561490964563796192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4909905894076640771.post-67937210827822640072013-11-18T23:03:33.361-08:002013-11-18T23:03:33.361-08:00Beautiful plants Alain.

Wonder why I've never grown them??? Maybe I'll sow a few seeds next spring. What's your soil mix for lithops? I've moved away from any organic component, but I think I really under water my lithops spring and early summer. I've considered using a small amount of coconut husk fiber (coir) in my mix to hold a little extra water, but I guess I could just try and water more often. :)Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13557615556014224724noreply@blogger.com
