Default What's right soil for ROS cutting: sand, or perlite: what?

bent said:

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


Find something much finer than "course builders sand".


[...]

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


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.


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


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.
