I think the biggest hurdle will be what to start them in .. i read verm but source says no..

in fact, source says something i can't even interpret/decypher ... any ideas?

ideal 27° celsius, little temperature changes (by this I am assuming to maintain a constant 27C day and night)
50% to 80%,humidity (ok got that fine)
sufficient light ( basic 6500K spectrum, 10 000 lux / lum : cool white fluorescent tubes, MG /envirolites, mercury iodine,
metal halide, hp sodium sunlight of course are reported to work) up to 18 /24 hours a day

the most sensitive critical part seems to
be the soil. (thats the one)

Basic soil characteristics :

well drained------
most strain like water but does not like to be in a humid soil.

avoid over watering, water when the soil is dry, a few centimeters in.
water with rain / snow water or bottled mineral water (avoid tap water, which is usually slightly alkaline)
spray leaves with distilled /demineralized water

Acidic--------------
consensus has not been reached on actual ideal acidity, but strains need a slightly acidic soil.

some recommendations are between a pH of 4.5 to 5.5- 6 being a basic / alkaline
maximum.
Avoid lime and vermiculite commercial mixes
(as such they do not work for this, as they're way too spongy and retain water)

standard algoflash potting mix (pH 6.5)
: sphagnum peat, composted pine grits,
wood fibre, green compost, perlite NPK
6.7.15 - (never heard of this in my life b4)

terre de bruyere potting mix ( pH 5)
consisting of 25% dry matter, 25%
organic matter, sphagnum peat NPK 16
- 7 - 15 (never heard of this in my life before)

commercial bonsai potting mix ( pH6) (previously said commercial mixes no good?)
sphagnum peat, composted pine grit,
horse manure compost, sand,
pouzzolana NPK 16 - 7 - 15

cactus potting mix

(from what I learned here that kinda means anything freedraining but mainlky john innes#3 with horticltural grit)

maybe I can use john innes? I did ask but didnt get any indication of a yes or no
