And lastly, at least for right now :))) a box of leaves I put down in half perlite and half vermeculite about three weeks after the plain perlite boxes. I'm starting to get some babies up but also having some leaf rot issues which I did not have at all in the plain perlite boxes!

So even though it drove me crazy that the perlite was so light I had a hard time judging when to water, it is still obviously the best way to go with the strep leaves.
