Removex to reply Following taken from bag of J Arthur Bowers Silvaperl Perlite. For soft stem and leaf cuttings use a mixture of equal parts perlite and spagmun moss peat such as Hortus Garden Peat. For harder cuttings and for fragile plants increase to 2 parts Perlite to 1 part peat. Regards, Emrys Davies |
