I am one of those odd ball organic growers, and I use 1 part earthworm castings to 4 parts potting soil and add in some coir to improve drainage. Then mine get a weekly dosing with a compost tea (I alternate manure, kelp and alfalfa). I had few problems with pests and no excess salt build up in my containers. The blooms on the variegated are not the most spectacular, but I love their foliage. |
