What I mean is I know that to grow your CP's correctly, you have to either grow them in:
long fibred sphagnum moss
peat and perlite mixed
But where I have a few questions is here:
1. Is there any difference in the growth rate of CP's that were grown in a medium with the peat/perlite mix, in comparison to a CP that was grown in just long fibred sphagnum moss? I was just curious, because it seems so much easier to just plant them in pure long fibred sphagnum moss, than taking the time to get a pretty much even mixture of peat and perlite. (sorry if I sound lazy or unmotivated, but im a college student, so my spare time is precious. lol :/ )
2. Would anything (bad or good) happen if one was to plant a cp in a medium combining all 3 materials (peat, perlite, and lfs moss)? Just for curiosity's sake.
3. Is it possible to purchase a peat/perlite mix anywhere, like in a store (not online) where it is already mixed for you, or would you have to buy both and mix them manually? The reason i'm asking, is because I am the worst at measuring stuff out, and I wouldn't want to accidently put too much of one or the other in the mixture, and end up damaging my plants.
