Sometimes it's easier to just not deal with the problem.

Wait until you sow some maughanii or sordida... It's <1 cm after 2 years for me... Or maybe it's me?

Oh wow! Maybe it's a sign to reread some of his books

That makes perfect sense, thanks. Maybe I'll just use the mix they are in now, basically a 1:1:1 of larger moler clay, grit and an ericaceous compost.

Oh, pulverulentum and vinaceum have really pretty flowers!

What's in that mesh pot, Ralph? I'll need to repot some of my epiphytes soon and am thinking about airy hanging baskets, perhaps with dry Sphagnum moss and some bark for larger particles.

They are not quite at peak yet Mat, probably peak next week or two, thereafter probably still lots of flowers into early June.

Noted!

Yes that was from europarts but the bag they are selling now is different and I don't know if it's the same stuff https://www.eurocarparts.com/search/granules According to the website it is "clay based", which is promising, but also "100% recycled", which I'd be careful about.

Don't buy all, please! It's way smaller grade than cat litters though, so might not be a 1:1 swap.
