What kind of soil did you use for your HBWRs? And what kind of pots?

I have used biodegradable pots, which I think are saturating the seeds too much. Probably another dead batch for me then, hehehehe. :/

cuttings often rot if kept under the water line i find. rooted plants are ok...but honestly, any container is going to slow growth, HBWR loves to be "let fre"...its just a big plant!

the other plants are in a mix of rich soil, pumice and some gravel for extra drainage. they are in the ground in a glasshouse as i read something i think kada said about them becoming almost instantly root bound in pots.

i also read somewhere that the roots grow down rather than out so taller pots would be best.

Did you give up on this project? I was thinking I might have an easier time getting HBR to flower indoors where I can control the light and humidity, and am considering DWC.

Six months ago this plant was so small it was being laughed at by friends and neighbors - not anymore!

It has actually grown a lot in the couple weeks since this photo was taken.Phoenix, AZ USA
