SO; I just did a little reading, but still need some back to basics
My first task is to get the dirt: apparently HD has perlite, if not I could
go to a nearby nursery. Assuming they have both, would I use?:
100% perlite
100% coarse builders sand
a mix (& what %ages)

If I can I would just like to use the one and only pot(s) right up to
transplant, but in that case the soil would be the same right from the
beginning to the transplant time, or unless I re-used it, a waste of soil if
I had to change all the soil in the large pots. Is one pot/soil possible, or
am I supposed to put it into "soil" after at time, but before transplant
time. Its ok; I just don't have an eficiency or space limitation, and it
would be less fuss with single pot(s)/soils.

wrt the plastic greenhouse, is the top and everything compleltely closed off
, and if so how do I water?



btw, I have three (+1) 12"Diameter pots: Are these big enough to get to any
significant size?

12" H black plastic w/ 4 drain holes

10" H plastic w/ 4 drain holes

8" H ceramic w/ 1 drain holes

10" H ceramic w/ 0 drain holes

I do have a larger collection of smaller pots.

Find something much finer than "course builders sand".

It's just a plastic bag to keep the humidity up. How difficult would it be
to just remove the bag to water? Good grief. Common sense, man.

Save this one for the final pot-up:

12" H black plastic w/ 4 drain holes


This sounds like a 1#:

10" H plastic w/ 4 drain holes


Don't use either of these:

8" H ceramic w/ 1 drain holes

10" H ceramic w/ 0 drain holes

-Did you know that dolphins are so intelligent that within only a few weeks
of captivity, they can train Americans to stand at the very edge of the
pool and throw them fish.

well as usual, not you specifically, have given me the exact opposite
advise specifically as I got in a real cultivars forum. Better than
nothing.
