Once plants are fairly large though i do then go onto JI 2 or 3 if they
are special.



That sounds like quite a recommendation, Janet! Do you buy in bricks or
bales, or by the bag? If/when you pot up to JI 2/3, do you blend with
coir to keep the heavier JI open and, perhaps, to acclimatise the plant
to its new conditions, or do you simply drop the coir plug into the
(unadulterated) JI compost?
