Howdy!

I'm looking to get a 100% mineral mix for my Mexican Pinguicula for their next re-pot this spring; ideally, I'd like it to contain perlite, silica sand and some form of crushed coral or lava rock, with or without other mineral components. I was wondering if anyone knew of any suppliers that would have something along these lines.

Many thanks!

Thanks for that ps3isawesome, unfortunately that store isn't in the UK and I don't know if they ship, but if they did the shipping and import tax would probably be quite high. I appreciate the suggestion though!

I've been able to locate some crushed coral gravel and slightly larger grained silica sand from an online aquatics store for a decent price in decent quantities, so am making my own mix. It's worth checking out aquatics shops and seeing what they have available if you want a similar mix for your Mexican Pinguicula.
