I used 1/3 dirt, 1/3 vermiculite, and 1/3 sand(sakrete multi-purpose) all from Lowe's. The powder bone meal, 1 tbsp per pot, but or little was sat at the bottom edge around the mounds. Otherwise that's it. I really didn't water like improbably should have but constant rains did overkill on alot of What I planted. I had zero drainage issues though, just humidity got the best of alot.

The dirt I had the best results with.Thumb of 2017-11-09/Cuzz4short/02116c

The littles seemed to respond the best though. Here's a shot of some today. I think I need to bury a little deeper, so ill just cover with pure sand, so they all become more root bound for dividing eventually, I'm still learning..

Final result: vendor infused or mother nature. All in all the blooms still happening. Two of these aren't registered rebloomers:whistling:
