Wow! Alot of great suggestions & ideas! I just don't like the idea of knowing the newly rooted cuttings are sitting in their pots possibly drowning! I use the 16 oz cups with holes in the bottom. A good draining - fast drying mixture is what I was attempting to find. (a mixture for Brugs specifically would be great). haha! I'm going to try a few ways some of you have mentioned & possibly a couple of new brands of mixture. Adding 50% Perlite for aeration sounds like it could be something to try. The Jungle Growth sounds like it could be a winner. I'm glad the fertilizer (slow release) in the Miracle Grow doesn't hurt them - that was a big concern I had. Thanks to each of you for your thoughts, suggestions, and ideas. I appreciate it! :)
