Are you going to keep it in a pot?
Have you ever tried it in the ground?
When I leave them in a pot, I used a good potting soil, but before I put the soil in I usually put some composted manure in the bottom of the pot. Then some soil, then the plant. I want want it to get burned before it gets a chance to grow., After it starts growing, I used a masnure tea to water it with and they take a lot of water once they get growing. I'm sure someone else does it differently but this is my basics.
