Hi pitcher planter
good to rescue plants form certain death :)
just a question what is the potting mix you are using there, do you use this all the time and do they do ok in it , as a friend in India is having problems and no supplies of potting medium available to him so we are looking for a solution , so what are you using there please
thanks J

I used a 50:50 mix of peat and play sand with some much on top (to keep it from drying out untill I get some Live Sphagnum moss). They do very well in it. ;)
