I use a variety of leca style products and have to agree with Ernie that flooding the pots is a key procedure when working with stone based media. Ernie, wher do you purchase your lava pebbles in the Chicago area?
One thing I use that may not be considered by most as s/h is top grade sphagnum....
These pots are displayed and when the medium is dry(ing)
I put a saucer of water underneath until it is as moist as
I need it. Works great and the plants love it!
