I cannot put it in the garden as my dog will just dig it up -- amme I think you mean Gypsophila paniculata, commonly known as Baby's- breath A good multi purpose compost with pearlite, or gravel added should be fine, but make sure if you are potting it you usera large pot I'd want at least a 3 litre pot but better something bucket size. I'd add a water retention granule such as Swell Gell toi the compost as it will help to save watering, and it actualy helps with drainage. david @ the normallly wet end of Swansea bay |
