Thanks for the advice about the soil. I am actually in the process of changing my soil throughout my collection to a better draining mix. I am mixing sawdust, burned wood & ash with the soil mix & sand that I have now. So far it seems to be draining better, & will serve until I move where I can plant them in the ground of my new yard. No such thing as cooler temperatures here in Tumaco, Colombia, South America. I am also adding something I have not found in any of the wild soil, but I did not really search for them. There are red worms here, & earth worms, but they do not seem to be natural. I think perhaps they are imports, but I am not sure. Opinions on improving the soil of local plants with them? Red & Earth worms. Hurray! Big Grin
