mutant Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) Hey I was thinking about using coco coir some time... but this is a dud substrate... how long does the seedling can be okey there? when should one start fertilising? do you use mix of coco + other nutricious substrate? Boy, at first (baby seedlings) I was like, now how the fuck do these dudes graft these tinyfuckers? Note I haven't ever grafted at such a young age. Then I saw them pump and becoming round. So I am happy to say I have grafted 4 of them cordo X's on selinicereus... at one month exactly from sowing... now thats not bad!

Philocacti Posted May 6, 2015 Coir on its own is very good to germinate on in my experience. However, I believe it's good to add some other substrate to make the soil mix more firm. Im trying zelly's advice by adding 1 cm of sand on top. Several times I tried fertilizing 1 months old seedlings with a very dilute conc. of fertilizer and it helped a lot. Start increasing the does little by little as they grow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rogdog Posted May 6, 2015 I use coco coir on its own and am really pleased with the results. It holds a lot of water, and has lots of air pockets at the same time. I use it for all my gardening and everything grows well. I live in Adelaide with a Mediterranean climate and it works for me here, when I lived in Lismore, it rained so hard the easy wetta water saver nodules blew up like jellyfish and were all over the surface of my pots. I germinate in coco coir, and transplant to more coco coir, I just love the stuff. Brunnings brand is the stuff I use, it has water saver granules and fertilizer included. Also some larger chunks of coir that break down over time. http://www.fertilisersonline.com.au/potting-mixes/coir/easy-wetta-potting-mix-block-60l.html <-- this block 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geebus Posted May 7, 2015 I use a cacti and succulents mix but with additional sand, peat moss (small amount) and on occasion perlite. Seems to work okay for me especially for seedlings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
