I have a question regarding the Sphagnum/Vermiculite mix I've been using for my houseplants (I tried one of the soil-less recipes), this mix seems to dry out rapidly and the plants do not seem to be getting enough water. I would say the mix is 3/4 Spagh and 1/4 Vermiculite. Any thoughts? Should I take them out and add soil to mix and repot? Thanks, Susie

I do it the easy way Miracle Grow, works every time with no muss or fuss.

Wow, thanks! I think I have to add soil to the mix though...it's just too dry.
What an amazing coincidence. I am one of the founders of American Bulldog Rescue (formerly NABRA). www.americanbulldogrescue.com
We rescue American, English, Olde English, oversize Staffs (big scary pitbulls) and mastiffs. We aren't really breed specific so much anymore, shelters and owners contact us for AB's and for dogs that are very large/scary looking. Though right now on our site is a complete mix.
I'm in the process of doing our 501c3- lots of work. I love animals and all dogs but have a special spot for bully breeds. Small world.
Thanks again, Susie

Judycooksey,
I just followed your link - what do you mean "some of your plants"?
I thought there was a tiny empty spot at the back porch to hang another plant? Just kidding :-). Beautiful plants and TONS of them!!! I love it!
