Greg--
I admit, to some degree, that I keep my CC's too dry in fear of them rotting getting too wet.
Advice from many, many people sometimes seems conflicting. I try to think through
all that has been said--but then end up relying on my own experience with plants
and go with that. Since I work in the Garden Dept. at my HD--many people rely on me for advice.
I DO NOT want to give them false advice. Just regular good habits re plants in general.
When these healthy, vibrant, blooming CC's arrive at the store--they look just so lush.
*(our 1st shipment just arrived today)
I have CC's that go back to 2006 and still living. Using cuttings to propagate most of them,
I have been able to continue with all the many colors I have had.

--In your opinion--is the Pro Mix not right for the CC's? It IS peat-based, but also has a lot of Perlite in it. Not sure where i could get some "grit" to mix into the soil. Whwt do you think about using "Rice Hulls"?
I will see my CC's through this bloom period and then take them out of the soil they are in and re-pot them in fresh Lambert's Pro Mix ( NOT going to fight with Tapla's soil suggestion).
I do not have the materials to do his MIX.
Should I incorporate something different in the soils as I transplant them? Your opinion, please. Thanks, Gita
